The Witness by Vivienne Franzmann
A dark and penetrating thriller of modern morals. Captured in an award-winning shot, Alex was rescued from Rwanda and adopted by the man behind the lens. Years later, she's back from university, returning to the Hampstead home in which she was raised. As a long-hidden secret is exposed, the distance between father and daughter stretches taut. Vivienne Franzmann's play The Witness was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London, in June 2012.'If there is a finer new play than The Witness this year, I'll be astonished'
* Evening Standard *'Powerful, original and deeply moving'
* The Telegraph *'A marvellous piece of writing, delivered with quiet intensity and not an atom overdone'
* Financial Times *'A play whose depth, compassion and courage eclipses by far the success of her Bruntwood-winning Mogadishu.. triumphant'
* The Times *'Clever, gripping... noble, inventive'
* Daily Mail *Vivienne Franzmann gave up teaching drama in a London comprehensive after winning the Bruntwood award in 2008. Mogadishu, her first full-length play, also won the 2010 George Devine Award.
