by [[Joe Penhall]]

Directed by [[Anton Krause]] 

Performances: Wed 22nd – Sat 25th November [[2006]], Prompt Corner 


== Introduction ==

In a London psychiatric hospital, an enigmatic patient claims to be the son of an African dictator - a story that becomes unnervingly plausible. An incendiary tale of race, madness and a Darwinian power struggle at the heart of a dying National Health Service, Joe Penhall's multi award-winning play premiered at the National Theatre in April 2000. This tight, funny and thought-provoking three-hander comes to Prompt Corner in November 2006.

== Reviews ==

Wow what a spellbinding production! A really mesmerising and dangerous performance from newcomer [[Chukwudi Onwere]] (very talented actor!) and also sterling work from the reliably excellent [[John Hartnett]] and [[Kester Hynds]] really proving himself. 

Whatever you do, don't let yourself miss this show, which has to be a highlight of what seems to have been a particularly strong year at SLT.

From the moment Christopher ([[Chukwudi Onwere]]) came hurtling onto the stage, seriously endangering the life of Dr Bruce Flaherty ([[Kester Hynds]]), to the final poignant ending, I was engrossed.

It's been such a long time I was so engrossed in a play I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoyed theatre!
