Being the First Lady is what I do, it's not who I am. It's 2010, and the girl known as Emma by her London school friends is now First Lady of Syria, wife of president Bashar al-Assad; AKA Princess Diana of the East (Paris Match) and the Rose in the Desert (US Vogue). But as the Arab Spring explodes, supporters for her image as Syria's great reformer are hard to find - especially when her countrymen rise up against her husband. As the edifice crumbles, the gap between her self-image and reality widens, and she is forced to choose between justification and denial - or looking at who she really is... I'm the same person as before I married the President. And I'll be the same person going forward. Script-in-hand performance.
