How clueless would you have to be to blow yourself up in the cause of radical Islam? Pretty clueless. This comedy musical features a hapless central character, a dastardly terrorist mastermind, and a journalist so eager for a juicy story that they are prepared to collude in mass murder.
It sounds like a rip-off of Chris Morris' forthcoming film, but this musical was penned a long time ago and enjoyed a well-received run in Edinburgh in 2007. The music by young composers Samuel and Scheur is excellent - the tone is relentlessly funny - and the underlying message that suicide bombing is for absolute prats is hardly controversial.
