"Ishwar Maharaj’s direction of Orlando is attentive and nuanced. The whole (of the play) is built up by layers, touching on mysterious and keeps the viewer guessing. The preception of time in the play is not linear, the layers of time meet overlaping and interfacing; the layers pierce each other. In this way Vertigo’s interpretation can be characterised as even mythical."

"I will write what I enjoy writing. I will write for no one else but myself. Because after all what else is there...who else is there?"
