What would you choose to remember, and what to forget?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is 1932 in occupied Bengal. A young revolutionary prepares to storm a whites-only club in Chittagong, an act of defiance that will end in her taking her own life. The sign above the club reads\u00a0<em>No Dogs, No Indians<\/em>. Decades later, an aspiring intellectual born in post-independence Kolkata is in love with all things British: Shakespeare, cricket, The Beatles. But as he contemplates the past and imagines his children\u2019s future, he begins to question his own identity. Now in 2017, a man returns from London on the news of his father\u2019s death. In the New India, he encounters steel magnates, supermodels and tech millionaires, but is haunted by ghosts from the past.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Three intertwining stories explore the effects and legacy of the British in India in a powerful new play by poet and playwright Siddhartha Bose to mark the 70th anniversary of Indian independence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">_<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Playwright Siddhartha Bose on cultural appropriation, identity and colonialism<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/214383184?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Creative team<\/p>\n<p>Writer | Siddhartha Bose<\/p>\n<p>Director | Russell Bender<\/p>\n<p>Costume designer | Mila Sanders<\/p>\n<p>Lighting designer | Jai Morjaria<\/p>\n<p>Sound designer | Edward Lewis<\/p>\n<p>Fight direction | Yarit Dor<\/p>\n<p>Company stage manager | Lauren Cameron<\/p>\n<p>Cast<\/p>\n<p>Rani | Komal Amin<\/p>\n<p>Chorus\/Durga\/Kalpana | Archana Ramaswamy<\/p>\n<p>Shyamal\/Ananda\/Nirmal | Omar Khan<\/p>\n<p>Yogesh\/Surya Sen\/Biswas\/Bahadur | Ashraf Ejjbair<\/p>\n<p>Co-commissioned by Brighton Festival, Southbank Centre, Live Theatre, GemArts, Writers&#8217; Centre Norwich &amp; Norwich Arts Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Supported with public funding by Arts Council England.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Penned in the Margins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three intertwining stories explore the effects and legacy of the British in India in a powerful new play by poet and playwright Siddhartha Bose to mark the 70th anniversary of Indian independence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[165],"tags":[257],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14075"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14075"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16873,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14075\/revisions\/16873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
