#2 As the play goes on they should demonstrate the horrible over-feeding so typical of death-camps.

#3 He was a sharia boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's jihadi man
Slammin on his head
Says your pretty face needs a cloak.
He was a sharia boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a convict
Slammin on his pelvic
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

#6 "I am trying to give the audience an experience that is unsettling and intense and to some degree a sense of how violent and upsetting that environment must be," he explained.

Inciting the yoots to retaliatory violence, then. Thanks, asshole.

"Whatever your politics, we are talking about human rights and the consequences of human rights being expendable," Hingorani added.

Huh? Expendable consequences? That statement doesn't make any sense. Must be using the Progressive Truth Generator.

#7 "Stratford wanted to start making emotionally challenging theatre for a teenage audience and we are in east London with a lot of Asian resonance. It (Guantanamo Bay) obviously has a lot of resonance with people here."

Oh, I get it. The director thinks he's found a way to sell some tickets. The man's a whore.

#9 If I filmed everyone in there. Said I knew who all the actors were and where they lived and there'd be trouble if this continued...

It would
a) get me arrested.
b) make the news.

Whereas nothing happens when Islamists do shit.
