A wealthy Gulf Arab man visits London for leisure and adventure, but his misreadings of British customs and encounters with local society expose tensions between traditional Gulf values and Western life. The satire also targets the excess, privilege and cultural pretensions of wealthy Arab visitors abroad.
The satire depicts ordinary Kuwaiti life during Iraq’s 1990 invasion and occupation. Abdulhussain Abdulredha portrays Saddam Hussein in a four-hour theatrical performance created to entertain Kuwaiti audiences during the Gulf War.
