Sameena Zehra Homicidal Pacifist

About the Event

It's time to cull the human race. But how is a lifelong believer in non-violence to choose? By making a list. A culling list. Be ready to gasp, guffaw & maybe suggest a person of two for the cull.

In this new show, premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe 2014, Sameena combines the weight of her political opinions with her particular brand of caustic, dark humour, in a 'playfully demonic' (Tony Allen) show that explores the sublime and the ridiculous, whether there is hope for the human race (on balance there is. Maybe. Possibly. Who knows?), and how civilisation makes hypocrites of us all. Politics, sex, romance, religion, incandescent rage at the thought of spoons in the fork section of the cutlery drawer, all go to make up a whirlwind hour of comedy and storytelling that will have you laughing, thinking and arguing in equal measure. And possibly exploring your inner homicidal pacifist as you pen a culling list of your own.
