It would be impossible to come away from this show unmoved and uninspired –

Metro London

I saw a piece of graffitti in Virginia and it said “If the whole world is a stage where does the audience sit”. Theatre is a collective.  The audience is a part of the play as much as the stage

This is how I see theatre. The Writer writes the words. The lighting designer writes the lighting. The set designer writes the set. The director writes the direction. The  actors write the acting. The costumier writes the clothes. There are lots of writers in theatre. I’ve written a few plays and three have been made into radio plays. You can listen to two of them below.   Presently in 2012  I am adapting  Benjamin Zephania’s book Refugee Boy for West Yorkshire Playhouse.

We are aware of being in the grip of a master of the spoken word and a highly charismatic performer – Metro.  A triumph * * * * * – The Scotsman.  The sheer intimacy of poet Lemn Sissay’s performance underpins the power of this monologue - The Stage.  He seems illuminated from within, gives an adrenaline-fueled performance. The actor’s glorious smile and his flair for turning personal struggle into stand-up and poetry is effortlessly entertaining. – The Guardian unlimited. Riveting style – The Stage. A big hearted pleasure – Time Out (critics choice).
