🎭 one-off
Begum Aur Baaghi
In the early years of the 19th century, as the British crept across India using money and munitions to take away power from the local rulers, Avadh too came under threat. When the British installed a puppet Begum on the throne, Afghani rebels overthrow her. Five years later, she is still missing, and that is when the action of the play starts. The play explores how in this world of chaos and opposition, a woman navigates her way through life to seek and find both respect and resilience. This outstanding play by leading Italian playwright Ugo Betti questions justice, gender and the quest for power in an age of uncertainty. However, be warned this play is historical fiction.
