Godly Bastard. A play written by Mumtaz Hussain currently rehearsing for its international debut Off-Broadway in New York City, produced by the J. Luce Foundation.
Synopsis
In a world where poverty drives desperate measures, individuals are often forced to sell everything they own to meet life’s basic needs.
Within this struggle, religious guidelines determine what is acceptable, adding another layer of complexity. A corrupt politician preys on his young, impoverished maid. He exploits her for his sexual gratification, and she becomes pregnant.
Upon discovering her condition, the politician cruelly fires her. In conservative Pakistan, her illegitimate child is shunned, so the maid sends him to orphan home. As the boy grows, extremist groups manipulate his vulnerability, leading him to a tragic path as a suicide bomber.
