Evening News “Critics Choice” Edinburgh Festival Fringe 1984 “Graham Salmon is the most inspiring athlete I have met; I say this without hesitation even though I have enjoyed the rare privilege of sharing the company of David Beckham, Muhammad Ali, Stanley Matthews, Gary Sobers, Martina Navratilova, Nadia Comaneci, Arnold Palmer and countless others in the course of my job. Award winning Finalist in the National Drama Festivals Association in 2007 and the All England Theatre Festival in 2008 "I didn't ever need convincing 'Graham' was an ideal piece to challenge my group. It ticked all the boxes for A-level work, but if I ever needed justification, then the results have certainly given it. In the breakdown of the Unit 2 marks i.e. the performance of 'Graham', all seven candidates were awarded 100%. It's worth noting that the external moderator was accompanied that evening by her senior examiner! Thanks again for the material and thanks to Graham, such an inspirational person!"
