Amira has known who she is and where she's going for her whole life, but what happens when Colonel Gaddafi (literally) comes along and slaps you in the face?
What can you do when you lose the very thing your identity was built around? You team up with a dictator of course, but how far is Amira willing to go to get what she wants?
Colonel Gaddaddy is a comedy about family dynamics, privilege, class, morality and self-discovery.
All plays will be performed script-in-hand, by professional actors, after a short rehearsal period.
