“The Free Man” is the true story of a man named Hurr (meaning ‘The Free’) who was the Chief Commander of an army that blindly executed the orders of a self appointed King in 6th Century Mesopotamia. Hurr is overwhelmed by the virtue of Imam Hussain and begins to discern truth from falsehood.
Ridhayatullah theatre is the only fully active interfaith youth theatre intitiative in the UK focussed on promoting awareness of Imam Hussain and the event of Karbala. They have been operating for 4 years and have reached an audience in excess of 4000. “The Free Man” in Manchester will be their 22nd show. This October they are in their first ever tour within the month of Muharram, after polishing the play with ten months of rehearsals to date.
