The Last King of Scotland is a riveting account of power and responsibility; this stage version will offer an electrifying tale of complicity with atrocity. Stripping the novel back to its core, it will focus on the relationship between the hapless ambiguous physician Nicholas Garrigan and the capricious psychotic yet charming figure of Idi Amin.
This theatrical version re-tells a story that speaks to an age of Islamic State and the war on Terror as much as its original context; The Last King of Scotland will offer a darkly comic, even poetic fable for the stage.
