“It’s an original play which I wrote myself,
“The story is exciting because it’s got so many plot twists and there is really never a dull moment,
“Anyone can come and see it as it’s for everyone, whether you’re a child or 80 years old,

“It was a very serious one with lots of intense issues, but I think people at the moment need something fun to watch on stage, so they can forget all the worries of the outside world”
