Afghanistan Is Not Funny
Henry Naylor presents
Afghanistan Is Not Funny

15 Feb 2022 to 13 Mar 2022

Soon after 9/11, researching a comedy project, multi award-winning playwright Henry Naylor and photographer Sam Maynard landed in the Afghan Warzone. What followed was extraordinary: threatened by a war criminal, captured by the Mujhadeen, and targeted by Al-Qaeda. Now, as the Taliban return, Naylor asks what has been lost in the ruins of Kabul.
