A World Premiere
One Turbulent Ambassador follows the career of Craig Murray on his appointment as Her Majesty's Ambassador and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2001.
Murray's proximity to post 9/11 Iraq forces him into a political minefield that neither he nor the Foreign Office could have envisaged. When he walks into a bar in Tashkent late one Monday night and sees a beautiful belly dancer arching her limbs , his personal life threatens to become as turbulent as the political landscape around him.
Don't miss this opportunity to see the world premiere of Robin Soans's newest play, researched and developed in collaboration with LAMDA students.
Please note that this production contains strong language and scenes of an adult nature.
