“I have long been familiar with the plays of Duman Ramazan. He is a strong playwright who thoroughly understands the intricacies of drama and deepens the twists and turns of thought. He writes about both historical topics and modern times with thorough research and knowledge. His historical canvases, created on the national stage in recent years, are in line with the heights of today’s theater. In his historical dramas such as “Kerey – Zhanibek,” “The Dream of Ablai Khan,” “Zhoshy Khan” and others, he flawlessly depicted the historical view of national values and traditions. The historical drama “Zhoshy Khan,” staged on the Kalecki stage, heralds the beginning of a new era in Kazakh culture,” said Sultan Raev.
