Meeting with Stephen McGown and the Daily Maverick

Six Years with Al-Qaeda as a hostage story to be made into a play

Stephen McGown, a South African, was captured and held by Al-Qaeda for six years after he was captured in Senegal while undertaking a motorbike trip from London to Cape Town.  The Daily Maverick published his story and a representative of the DM, Stephen and I met on 18 August to finalise details about my writing a solo show based on Stephen's story.  The intention is to launch the play in the first third of next year.
