    During long days spent growing up in a broken home, amongst the bloodshed ides of post-post-war Ealing, Gassan Abdulrazek always dreamed of becoming an actor... And I think we can all agree, that dream became a reality! He's the most stratospherically successful West-London-based Egyptian writer/performer in the world!

    Join Gassan as he presents his last night on earth, a whistle stop tour through his star-studded life and career. With a tale of artistic perfection, a compelling rags-to-riches narrative, a Faustian pact, and (like every great comic tragedy) a death; this show may just well be the perfect artistic endeavour.

     

    "His humour is dark and brilliant."
    The Scotsman on previous work by the writer Sam Dodgshon
    "Comic timing and choreography down to perfection."
    ChrisOnTheatre on previous work created by Stolen Table

    "Hats off to the CPT for this fine show, well researched and coming from a place of great passion... Comm­unity theatre at its most effective."
