The new play by the Dostlar Theater, adapted by Colin Teevan from the book by Ryszard Kapuscinski, The Emperor tells the story of the 44-year reign of Haile Selassie, and how it came to end. Genco Erkal, who translated the play to Turkish and is responsible for the dramaturgy, is also the director, and acts along with Enes Sarı. The costume design was done by Özlem Kaya, and the play features music by Nazım Çınar. All dictators are more or less alike. They are all made out of the same fabric. Let’s see what the story of Haile Selassie will make us think.
