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. In spite of widespread protests, and despite her 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. An unmissable hymn to the power of the human spirit in the quest for freedom.
