Taking place over one night, we move in time and space between a transgressive app date in present day East London, and a Bungalow in Delhi, 1946, where the line of partition between India and Pakistan is being drawn

Dark farce and erotic exploitation pepper this exposition of the kinks of colonisation while asking base questions about desire, control, and guilt. Featuring Special Guest: Pooja Sivaraman WHAT IS SOUTH ASIAN PLAY READING GROUP? Each session we will be reading a different play written by a writer of South Asian heritage. These will be a combination of new plays that are at different stages of development in addition to older legacy texts that haven’t been seen for a while and everything else in between. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet and connect with other creatives in a friendly and welcoming artistic environment.
