Act 1 - Welcome...to Afghanistan/Act 2 - Welcome...to the UK

A double-bill of satirical shows - packed value for wallet-tight times! Think Bill Hicks meets Mark Thomas, with a dash of rhyme thrown in, and you've got Monkey Poet, winner of 7 fringe awards around the world. So there. Act 1 - Welcome... to Afghanistan - A one-man re-enactment of the first British conflict with Afghanistan (1839-42), based on contemporary first-hand accounts and told by the young Lieutenant John Greenwood. "Deadly historical accuracy and wicked barrages of humour." The Stage. Act 2 - Welcome... to the UK - Comedy poetry that questions national identity and what it means to be British.
