In Anthony Horowitz's new play Dinner with Saddam the Alawai family receive the surprise of a lifetime when they are informed that Saddam Hussein is coming round for dinner. The concept sounds absolutely ridiculous, but Horowitz's play is based on truth - Saddam Hussein would sometimes drop into the homes of 'normal' people for dinner. Dinner with Saddam is a political comedy with some dark layers to be shed.
