Under a huge white tent in the desert dust of Jordan, 100 Syrian refugee children, their own lives blighted, rehearse King Lear, one of Shakespeare's great tragedies. They form a circle around Syrian actor-turned-director Nawwar Bulbul, who has worked with them for more than two months at Zaatari refugee camp in the hope of drawing attention to their plight. "I seek to revive laughter and joy among children to help them express themselves," said Bulbul, who was in several hit soap operas at home before falling foul of President Bashar al-Assad's regime and fleeing into exile.
