Reviews:
THE MATCHMAKER
?"Shahan?s selection as Ermengarde (the heroine) was par excellence. His
acting, his dialogue delivery and his costumes were
worth mentioning,
considering how difficult it is for boys to play the opposite sex."?..
--Saleem Ahmed, The News (April, 95)
TALE OF THREE PENNIES
"The roles played by Muhammad Khosa(Tony),Shahan Zafar(Jimmy), and
Imaad Zafar(Bala) as gangsters were the pick of the characters. The
audience enjoyed every moment of their brilliant performances on the stage?."
