The Lady of Burma by Richard Shannon
In her cell in Rangoon's Insein prison, Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi - incarcerated by Burma's military dictatorship for almost 20 years - tells her story. Richard Shannon's powerful and moving one-woman play vividly portrays the life and message of the world's most famous prisoner of conscience. Aung San Suu Kyi was held under house arrest from 1989-1995, and again from 2000-2002. She was again arrested in May 2003 after the Depayin massacre. She is currently under house arrest in Rangoon. Aung San Suu Kyi's message is a simple one - that only by "fighting fear can you truly be free" - a message Burma's military fears and aims to silence.
Richard Shannon is a writer and a director.
