Program Coordinator of the British Council Armenia Narek Tovmasyan
said that the arrival of Oxford Playhouse troupe is an important event
for the organization. `Every year we attend Edinburgh festival and
choose the best actors to perform in Yerevan,’ Tovmasyan told a press
conference in Yerevan on May 8.

One Small Step performance will be staged in Armenia by Oxford
Playhouse troupe. It encapsulates the race between the United States
and the Soviet Union to send the first man to the moon.

Actors Robin Hemmings and Oliver Millingham commented on their visit
to Armenia, saying that they are impressed by Yerevan from the
cultural point of view.

One Small Step was staged in 13 countries. Representatives of Russia
and the US, including NASA cosmonauts saw the performance, although it
was not staged in these countries, Romin Hemmings told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. `In general, they were of positive opinion,
though Russians labeled our humor as unhealthy in some scenes,’ the
actor said.
