"a very talented ensemble" Matt Byrne, Sunday Mail
"If you want serious theatre that is entertaining then I strongly recommend Osama the Hero" Myk Mykyta, Radio Adelaide.

The South Australian Premiere of  "Osama the Hero"  is the story of Gary, an idealistic young man with an unusual view of the world.  Gary lives on a public housing estate where disturbing things are taking place. People’s bins are being blown up and their garden sheds burnt down. As angry residents begin to look for the culprit, their search leads them to the hapless young Gary.  Is he the urban terrorist wreaking havoc on the estate?

A group of residents decide to take the law into their own hands, with terrifying consequences.  Dennis Kelly’s Osama the Hero is the disturbing exploration of a world where the breakdown of social order breeds a climate of fear, paranoia and violence.   It is a confronting examination of how the so-called ‘war on terror’, 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq has affected how we now exist in the world and how we relate to each other.

Winner of the 2006 Meyer-Whitworth Award for excellence in new writing.
