Tokyo Rose, the musical originally created by Burnt Lemon Theatre, seems to going down well in Japan. Loved the video with extracts performed in Japanese.

The Royal Court is shocked to learn that Mustafa Sheta & Jamal Abu Joas of The Freedom Theatre have been arrested. We demand their immediate release.

Ahmed Tobasi was also arrested & has since been released. He is suffering injury as a result of being detained.
