In this elaborate agitprop theatrical collaboration, the internal contradictions and duplicitous double-speak of the "war on terror" are exposed as the propaganda vehicles for the neo-colonialism of the West that they are. "Ali Hakim" and "Ali Ababwa," refugees from the imaginary country "Agraba," attempt to seduce their audience into providing them with food, refuge, security, freedom, and the material benefits of Western consumer society, failing miserably at every step. A hard-hitting presentation of a play-within-a-play assaults the audience as Youssef, Verdecchia, and Chai do Shakespeare, Shaw and Swift one better.Youssef, Marcus is the author of 'Adventures Of Ali & Ali And The Axes Of Evil A Divertimento For Warlords', published 2005 under ISBN 9780889225169 and ISBN 0889225168.
