Rwanda PlaySaturday 21 June 2003
It's almost ten years since we heard news of the massacres in Rwanda. The figures are almost beyond comprehension - 800,000 people were killed in the space of a hundred days.

One of the survivors, a young Tutsi girl made it to this country and found a way to heal her trauma through writing.
Her story has inspired a play I have before me a remarkable document given to me by a young lady from Rwanda and is being performed in London.
The writer of the play, Sonja Linden, who is writer in residence at the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture and Lea Rwabizambuga, whose story inspired the play, join Martha to tell her about the play.
The play is being performed at the Finborough Theatre, Finborough Arms, Finborough Road, London SW10 until 12 July 2003. Box office: 020 7373 3842

Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture
