"One of the most original and talented political satirists working in the theater!” — The New York Times
Bread and Puppet’s renowned wickedly funny puppeteer and star of the CBS hit TV series, “Beakman’s World” gives new meaning to the term “shadow government”! A hotly politicized burlesque queer-ing of traditional Middle Eastern shadow puppetery. The protagonist, a gay Arab immigrant artist, must outfox hordes of pursuing adversaries to find true love! Can he escape Homeland Security, al-Qaeda, Minutemen vigilantes AND The Buttfart Genie? Paul juxtaposes this craziness against the uproarious, true story of the US Marines’ attempts to recruit him to be their Arabic translator!
