BIN LADEN: THE ONE MAN SHOW Comes to Tron Theatre

BIN LADEN: THE ONE MAN SHOW has won awards from Los Angeles to the Edinburgh Fringe, and now arrives at Tron Theatre this April as part of a second UK tour. The world's most notorious terrorist tells his story in this remarkable, provocative and multi-award-winning production. The twist? Bin Laden is 28 years old, White British and charming as cream teas in summer...

With populist rhetoric playing an ever-increasing role in Western politics, Knaïve Theatre's Tyrrell Jones and Sam Redway pry apart what it is that draws us to follow demagogues, asking if the world's most wanted terrorist might have been more persuasive than we ever imagined. They ask audiences to re-examine their own information and prejudices from a naïve perspective, just as the company have.

Knaïve Theatre are Supported Artists at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. Prior to bringing this 'must-see' production to audiences across the UK, the company embarked upon a highly successful American tour, and played to sold out houses at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In Edinburgh, the show brought together ex-Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, British Muslims, Trump supporters and everyone in between for a passionate discussion in the bar afterwards.

Having provoked important and timely debate surrounding Middle East conflict and the War on Terror both at home and abroad, they will now bring that discussion to audiences at the Tron. Though the company expected this story would become less relevant, current global tensions and recent events have galvanised an ever-increasing appetite for the debate they inspire.
