OBAMA THE MAMBA - PRESIDENT OF THE SLUMS

12 - 20 OCT 2012
STUDIO PERFORMANCE

Meet George Hussain Obama.  The Mamba.  Nairobi slum gangster.  US President's half-brother.  Born of the same Kenyan father - their lives worlds apart...

The Mamba, means crocodile in Swahili.  It is George's gang name - he was always the first to snap.  Barack Hussein Obama Snr was the father the two boys never really knew.  Whilst one brother made it to the pinnacle of First World power, the other became self-styled Third World President of African's most lawless slum - Huruma.  Enter Obama The Mamba's secret world - his charm will captivate you.  A true life story of fate, power and destiny.

The stage play is loosely adapted from the autobiography 'Homeland'
(co-written by George Hussain Obama and Damien Lewis)

Supported by Arts Council England.

Supported also in Nairobi by the people of the Haruma Centre Youth Group.
