How not to get involved with international politics...

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That is the key theme of this new play by Adam Brace, which focuses on the Congolese civil war and one Briton's inept attempt to solve it. Directed by Michael Longhurst, this marks the pair's second collaboration following 2009's Stovepipe.

Touched by the plight of war-torn Congo, one Londoner decides to single-handedly do something to help. What would gain popularity and lots of money? Why, setting up a dedicated music festival of course. However, as our heroine Stef discovers, organising a festival isn't as easy as it seems, and the anarchic events that follow unpack the problems of being too idealistic, and white saviourism.The show's provocative title is taken from the lyrics of a popular 1980s fruit drink advert called Um Bongo.
