A satirical romp that follows an innocent young boy from the streets of Jalalabad to the West. Targeted by an American reporter looking to create her own TV-ready terrorist, he soon finds himself in the midst an actual sleeper cell run by a flamboyantly inept cast of characters. Of course, sparks fly and romance blooms. With singing camels, dancing girls and a heartfelt hero, JTM sends up ethnic stereotypes, politics and big business, and the love affair between terrorism and the media. The show features songs including Axis of Freedom, Building a Bomb Today, I Wanna Be Like Osama, Marvellous, Marvellous France and Scary Mary.
