The London Insider reviews Aftermath at the Old Vic

MaryAlex — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:31:05 +0100

"Aftermath tells six stories, based on real interviews, with people who fled Iraq as the fallout of the war became too much for them to bear. The format cleverly engages you with their tales; a translator named Shahid introduces the characters, guiding you through the narratives. Before long you realise that you, the audience, are being treated as the interviewer..."

The Paper Birds - Theatre Company

Hayley — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:17:26 +0000

Ice-creams, suitcases, floorboards and buttons tell the physically and visually moving tale of a young Eastern European girl and her journey to England. A beautifully woven patchwork of accounts, misunderstanding, movement, text and live original music; ‘In a Thousand Pieces’ sees The Paper Birds returning to their all female roots to deliver this touching and delicate depiction of the violent, isolated and brutal world home to thousands of women forced into the British sex trade.

Hope thrives in Rwanda

Niluccio — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:30:46 +0000

The Tutsi Genocide of 1994 was a comprehensive event. It saw global complicity. But internally, uniquely Rwandan principles of organisation pulled together, though politics, economics, religion, historical preparation, pedagogy - every aspect of culture - to a whole and wicked purpose.
