For all ages
It was just an ordinary day. Like any other day. Or so he thought… A cleaner, Ahmad, turns up to work at the theatre and goes about his usual routine; tidying the theatre after hours. But today will be different. A massive error from the management results in the challenge of a lifetime for Ahmad. He is forced to think on his feet, to improvise, and bring to light the talents he has been hiding all his life. Ahmad will never be just a cleaner again.
