"We were particularly impressed by the vivid world of the play and by [the] characterization and dialogue."


"I was never to initiate a conversation, I was never to talk about my religion, I was never to look up when they entered a room, I was to make neither demands or requests. I was to know that my future lay in the hands of Allah and I was to be grateful for that."
