DGTOME's entries have been selected and verified by a transnational group of contributors who are leaders in the study and practice of theatre in the region. This database is distinct in that it is developed by MENA local contributors. The database includes many remarkable plays featuring complex character development, clever satire, and breadth of tone in a range of styles and genres (experimental, historical, melodramatic, political).

Layalina examines how families maintain their love in the midst of turbulent global and social change.

As the first and only searchable database in the field of MENA theatre, DGTOME benefits from a transnational group of artists and scholars. We hope to contribute to the growth of digital humanities research in and about performing arts in the MENA region. In selecting the works, DGTOME has prioritized plays with socio-political themes and those created by artists belonging to minority and historically marginalized groups: women, LGBTQ individuals, and members of religious and ethnic groups that have been historically under or misrepresented(including Kurds, Armenians).

The Digital Guide to Theatre of the Middle East: 21st Century Volume (DGTOME) provides essential information on the most significant plays/performances written and performed in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and among their diasporas since 2000. The goal is to recognize and display the breadth and diversity of theatrical visions, creations, and collaborations of MENA theatre artists in an accessible and sustained manner to academics and theater practitioners and producers.
