Osama the Hero

Osama the Hero is a three act in-yer-face play by Dennis Kelly.

The first two acts were staged as part of the Wild Lunch series by Paines Plough theatre company in May 2004 at London's Young Vic theatre.

The only thing that happened during the run was that a little old lady came up and gave me a telling off.

"[3] Gary, an awkward teenager, writes a school project defending Osama bin Laden, for which he is violently persecuted by his shocked and scared neighbours.

The neighbours convince themselves that he is a local vandal and work themselves into a frenzy, leading to a threat to Gary's safety.
