World Leader Pretend at Bread and Roses Theatre

BREAKING NEWS: Two Opposing World Leaders Kiss At A Conference! But will they make love or war?

Two rival nations: Emory is the Foreign Secretary for the Right Wing and slightly totalitarian Herulia. Milona is the Ambassador for the Left Wing and slightly sadistic Gepidia.

When an argument between two fisherwomen breaks out and turns into a battle on the border, tanks are deployed by both countries – and it’s up to Emory and Milona to dissolve the tension and stop the upcoming war.

A night of complimentary margaritas and a hotel room later, Emory and Milona wake up next to each other... NAKED. No one can find out!!! But this is 2025, and everyone has smartphones. So basically, they’re f*cked.

World Leader Pretend is a hilarious new play full of ridiculous characters and slapstick multi-rolling; a bonkers rollercoaster through two fictional countries and their political landscapes. It tackles themes of intimacy, queerness in politics, the sexualisation of women politicians, celebrity culture and how lust can impact a nation.
