Sanjeev Bhaskar leads his first stage production, with Stephen Berkoff as Saddam Hussein
What would you do with feared dictator Saddam Hussein turned up on your doorstep for a dinner party? That's the question faced by British screen and comedy star Sanjeev Bhaskar when he stars in this new production penned by Anthony Horowitz, at the Menier Chocolate Factory this September. Bhaskar is joined by prolific stage and screen actor Stephen Berkoff as Saddam Hussein, Shobu Kapoor, Nathan Amzi, Ilan Goodman and Rebecca Grant in this world premiere play. Further casting is yet to be announced, especially for the eponymous Hussein but this is set to be a rip-roaring farce through politics and personal issues; whilst behind the kitchen door, an even more sinister plan is being cooked up.....
Dinner With Saddam brings together the cream of acting and producing crop in British theatre, with Lindsay Posner directing the production. Bhaskar, former star of TV's Kumars At No. 42 and Goodness Gracious Me will add to his stage credentials in this role as the terrified dinner party host. He will be joined by Urinetown and Rock of Ages alum Nathan Amzi, with Bad Jews' IIan Goodman and Seminar's Rebecca Grant rounding out the remainder of the cast.
Tense, explosive and extremely farcical, this dinner party is the thing of dreams - or your worst nightmares.
