The RSC New Work Season continues at Soho Theatre with journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown's Tales of an Extravagant Stranger. Respected (and often controversial) political commentator Yasmin Alibhai-Brown explores a life-long love of Shakespeare and details how her own personal experience of playing Juliet as a teenager in 60's Uganda sent shockwaves through her family and helped to shape the emotional and political landscape of her life.

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown has written for The Guardian, Observer, The New York Times and many other newspapers as well as having a regular column in The Independent. In 2001, she was appointed an MBE for services to journalism; however, in 2003 she returned her MBE as a protest against the new empire in Iraq and a growing republicanism.
