What I liked

A great performance, he was very funny, it was clearly very meaningful to him which made it even more powerful for the audience. Really happy to have learned about this history. Especially well-written, balancing the history, the humor, and the drama. The end of the show when he talks to Thileepan about how living his life is the best way to fight- that was moving.

What I didn't like

n/a

My overall impression

A passionate performance that introduces an important historical figure to many people who may have not known him before this show. Themes of culture, family, and legacy are brought up in a powerful performance. Ahash, who is the same age as Thileepan when he died, gives everything he’s got into a moving tribute to an icon that should not be forgotten.
