1 Family Secrets: Chris Pratt & Millie Bobby Brown Share Stories From Set 22:08
What history books leave out about the 1947 Partition
Manage episode 473027885 series 2984311
When the award-winning actor and playwright Anusree Roy was growing up, her grandmother would tell her stories about the Partition of India in 1947, when British India was divided into the Muslim-majority Pakistan and the Hindu-majority India. Now, decades later, Anusree is performing in a play she wrote about the Partition called “Trident Moon.” It follows nine women and girls over the course of one life-changing night as they try to survive unspeakable danger. Anusree joins Tom Power in our studio to tell us why she wanted the story to feel unsentimental, what history books leave out about the Partition, and why humour serves such a vital role in the play. If you’re looking for more conversations about theatre, check out Tom’s interviews with playwrights Michael Healey or Larissa FastHorse.
