This month brings the end of an era as "Stranger Things" returns for its fifth and final season.

At first, its soft cushions, luxurious rugs and fine china evoke the warm hospitality of an Afghan home. Yet as the immersive theatrical experience progresses, the audience feels the walls closing in, the sky outside darkens and the narrator's stories become increasingly bleak in tone. "One's own room: Inside Kabul" is an artistic take on the circumstances Afghan women and girls are currently living in: limited to their homes, with scarce opportunities for education. Its co-creator, Caroline Gillet,
