At a press conference held at the Lyric, Eva said: "Many people were saved from the tragedy of the holocaust through the action of others. A major tragedy is now unfolding in Pakistan with over 14 million people affected by the floods, who are at risk from diseases spread from contaminated drinking water and flooding after further rainfall. There is much we can do to help them."
Eva was accompanied by Nic Careem, the play's producer/director, which has been shown across the UK as a tool for uniting communities to stand up to hate and extremism. Nic, himself a Muslim, was accompanied by supporters of the initiative John Bird, founder of The Big Issue, and Phil Ryan, former lead singer of The Animals.
The play's performance is also being supported by prominent people from Britain's Jewish, Muslim and Asian communities, politics and business as well as celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, arts, media and sport.
Tickets are priced from £16 to £43 and there is a limited number of VIP seats, which also include an invitation to a reception and celebrity auction after the performance, priced at £144. Boxes for corporate sponsors and their guests are from £2,000 to £5,000.
