Recenzii

James Graham has a knack for diving into our collective political memory and retrieving the absurd and the inexplicably forgotten . . . No emerging playwright can beat Graham at explaining political ideas on stage
Could he be the next David Hare?
Graham has a formidable track-record as a chronicler of modern history
