'LATHAM'S ACTING IS EMOTIONALLY DRIVEN AND CONVINCING, PRESENTING A DOWN-TO-EARTH AND HUMAN CORRIE...
THE PLAY PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE PERSON SHE WAS AND WHAT SHE HOPED TO ACHIEVE... IT TOUCHED AUDIENCE MEMBERS WITHOUT USING THE SHORTCUT OF OVERWHELMING SADNESS'
L'ORIENT NEWSPAPER
We had fun taking the set from 25m stage of Al Madina and rebuilding it in the 6 m Zoukak theatre overnight. Kudos to our great tech team!
