Fishers of Hope Taweret is Lara Foot’s first play set outside of the mental and physical landscape of South Africa. To research the play, Foot journeyed to a small fishing village near Kisumu in Kenya. … This is a story that ripples out way beyond the shores of this lake and this village. – Marianne Thamm, Daily Maverick
‘… unique theatre that stimulates pathos and empathy for the brave small people.’ – Jaroslav Kalac, www.saartsdiary.com
