Samar and the Frightened King is a comic, magic-realist family performance about a king who is terrified of everything and everyone… including Samar, who does not let the king's fear hold her back.
They're coming. The elephants! At least, that's what the frightened king says.
He sees danger everywhere and feels his people do not appreciate him enough. To keep the elephants out, he invents the craziest rules, hangs up the strangest signs and confiscates all the apples. Everyone must obey, because deviating is dangerous.
Except Samar. Samar refuses to be frightened. Not by the elephants, and certainly not by the king. She refuses to follow rules that no one really understands. As the king tries more and more desperately to stay in control, Samar sets his entire kingdom wobbling.
