The Lady of Burma
by Richard Shannon
Co-produced by Brighton Festival
Richard Shannon’s celebrated play - based on the inspirational true story of the Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi - is revived exclusively for Brighton Festival with an updated script specially commissioned to include the momentous events of 2010.
This powerful solo performance - starring Liana Gould and directed by Owen Lewis was a sell-out success during its inaugural runs at London’s Old Vic and Edinburgh Fringe; and at its original UK tour (2009). It captures both the political reality of military rule and the personal struggle of Burma’s Nobel Peace Prize-winning, democratically elected leader through fifteen years of house arrest.
Regardless of what you know or think about Burmese politics, it is a compelling hymn to the resilience of the human spirit in the quest for freedom.
‘Personal and political have rarely been so ferociously connected… Gould delivers with incendiary force.’ - The Times
20th May is a signed performance.
A co-production with Louise Chantal and Seabright Productions in association with Burma Campaign UK.
Date: 19 - 05 - 2011 and 20 - 05 - 2011
Time: 7:30 pm
Venue: Theatre Royal Brighton New Road Brighton East Sussex BN11SD
We desperately need your help.
Burma Campaign UK is making a difference, but without support from members of the public our work would end.
