This was a 30 minute site specific play about local Kilburn legend ‘Keith’, who lived until 104. Kiln Theatre commissioned Martha to write the piece after interviewing people close to Keith- Abaigh and Saeed. The picture outside Roses Cafe is of the real Abaigh and Saeed meeting the actors. ‘Keith’ ran 6 times a day for a week.
