As a leading expert on the Theatre of the Oppressed, Adrian is a well-traveled teacher and speaker. He has taught Theatre of the Oppressed work in many contexts, throughout Britain and Ireland, and many places throughout the world, including France, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, India, Colombia and Kosovo.
'Impassioned... The script spins out in all sorts of intriguing ways... an increasingly riveting evening that wraps hard facts in a parcel of fiction' 4 stars - Evening Standard 'If you like your theatre political then A Few Man Fridays is definitely one to see - a rich tapestry woven of injustice, hypocrisy and loss; a tale of the powerful against the powerless, the big silencing the small, and in this case, a tale made for theatre to tell.' - A Younger Theatre 'Has the daring sweep of Complicite's Mnemonic and is almost as suspenseful as it is richly, hauntingly elegiac.' - Sunday Times 'This is a play that punches you hard even as it enchants you. It wakes up a social conscience you may have never known you had.' - BroadwayBaby.com
