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.
