The President and the Pakistani by Rashid Razaq

Tim Johanson Productions presents a Rhapsody of Words production The President and the Pakistani, a World Premiere by Rashid Razaq, directed by Tom Attenborough, at the Waterloo East Theatre, in south London, from 3 Oct to 4 Nov 2012.

Starring Syrus Lowe (Barack Obama), Junaid Faiz.

The President and The Pakistani is the story of a young man and the friend he has to leave behind to achieve his dreams. Based on the chapter in Barack Obama's life, when he lived in a crime-ridden and violent neighbourhood with a Pakistani illegal immigrant, this is a play about a night when a hunt for the truth exposes the lies we want to believe in.
