The Red Fighting Peacock production of The Lady of Burma is presented by James Seabright and Louise Chantal in association with the Burma Campaign UK

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 you know) about Burmese politics, this show is an unmissable hymn to the power of the human spirit in the quest for freedom. The show will be followed by a question and answer session supported by the Burma Campaign UK.
