About The Show
When Muna, working for the Serious Fraud Office, begins to investigate the arms deal between Saudi & Britain, she clashes with Faisal who is using his relationship with the UK Prime Minister to shut down the investigation. But with a change of power in Saudi, Muna & Kamal’s troubles are about to get much worse.
The Shadow World Musical is a love story set against the backdrop of the Yemen/Saudi war and Britain’s role in selling the Saudi government arms. The show is based on the brilliant and acclaimed book The Shadow World by Andrew Feinstein, also adapted into an award winning documentary film. The musical is a satirical and moving exposé of the damage the global arms trade does to our lives.
A powerful and important book
Gripping… a singularly powerful study, deserves to be ready by anyone who wants to see light shining on such a shadowy world… Impressive.
The nobility and justice of Feinstein’s sentiments are indisputable.
Essential reading for anyone who cares about justice, transparency and accountability
Chilling, heartbreaking and enraging
