James Seabright and Louise Chantal in association with the Burma Campaign UK present the Red Fighting Peacock production of
THE LADY OF BURMA
By Richard Shannon
With Liana Mau Tan Gould as Aung San Suu Kyi.
The inspirational true story of Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi is told in this compelling solo performance about the life of the only Nobel Peace Prize winner who is also a political prisoner. Despite being the democratically elected leader of the country, Burma’s military junta have kept Suu Kyi under house arrest for over a decade.
This powerful performance has already made sell-out appearances at the Edinburgh festival and the Old Vic in London. Regardless of what you know or think about Burmese politics, this show is an unmissable hymn to the power 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
"Rarely is a show so powerful." **** The Independent
