Reviews
"…it was perhaps the most extraordinary moment of my life. To go into that theatre, to see the book I had written, to see the words I had written, the characters I had created so entirely transmogrified into something richer and different… to my utter surprise I found myself sitting there with the rest of the audience with the tears running down my face….” Jackie French – Author of Hitler’s Daughter
