IN 1947 INDIA, SIX WOMEN FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL AMIDST THE CHAOS OF PARTITION.In August 1947, six women — three Muslim and three Hindu —
hide in a coal truck as it speeds through the turmoil of newly
divided Hindustan. The conflict inside mirrors the chaos in the
streets, but when the truck unexpectedly halts and a stranger
breaks open the door, the women must suddenly unite to survive.
Multi-award-winning playwright Anusree Roy’s story of India’s
partition unflinchingly confronts sectarian brutality, revealing the
lives of women and children caught in the crossfire during a pivotal
moment in world history.
“ …one of the most necessary plays of the present time, it must be watched as a reminder of the past, an indication of the present and a warning about the future.” - Stuart McMillian, THE UPCOMING (UK)
Written by Anusree Roy
Directed by Nina Lee Aquino
An NAC English Theatre and Crow’s Theatre co-production
