Project Dictator

(Or Why Democracy Is Overrated And I Don’t Miss It At All)
A Rhum + Clay Production
Originally Commissioned by New Diorama Theatre

Their choice? To die onstage – or off it.

Beautiful and bonkers – it’s the clown show about totalitarianism we never knew we needed.

Informed and inspired by conversations with international artists living under authoritarian regimes.

Rhum + Clay return after 2019’s smash hit The War of the Worlds and 2018’s The Stage Award-winning Mistero Buffo.
