Twelve years later, as a courier for the FLN (National Liberation Front), she was sentenced by France to 10 years in prison for terrorism, but fled to Algeria where she became the principal advisor to the Minister of Health under Ben Bella.

For Sanzol, humor is one of the fundamental elements of *Waiting for Godot*. ‘It is one of the reasons I wanted to stage this play.
