Silk Road Rising is seeking two understudies for their upcoming production of My Dear Hussein by Nahal Navidar, directed by Tlaloc Rivas.
Synopsis:
A child, a toy dog, and a ruthless dictator walk into a war zone and fanciful imagination breaks free. This surrealistic tale of a four-year-old Iranian girl unfolds amidst the carnage of the Iran-Iraq War. The lines between playful fantasy and brutal warfare are gradually blurred as ugly realities become harder to mask.
