A satirical comedy based on a real 4,000-year-old moan.
Long before Google Reviews, TripAdvisor, there was Nanni
and he was FUMING.
It’s 1751 BC in Ur, EA-Nāṣir has sold him dodgy copper. Again. This time, Nanni’s not letting it go. He chisels out the world’s first known customer complaint on a clay tablet and has it delivered like a Mesopotamian mic drop.
Millennia later, his review is on display at the British Museum, immortalised as history’s funniest refund rant spawning memes, TikToks, university skits, and comedy cults.
Now, Mancunian author Sharon Abbas (The Pink Angel Eild) blends ancient satire with modern madness in this wild reimagining of the EA-Nāṣir saga where ancient Ur meets 2025 London, and nobody’s getting their copper back.
