First look rehearsal images have been released for the world première of Sonali Bhattacharyya’s Two Billion Beats.
Seventeen-year-old Asha is an empathetic rebel, inspired by historical revolutionaries and iconoclasts Sylvia Pankhurst and B R Ambedkar. She’s unafraid of pointing out the hypocrisy around her but less sure how to actually dismantle it.
Anoushka Chadha (Bettina) and Safiyya Ingar (Asha) star in Nimmo Ismail’s production, which opens on 9 February, with previews from 5 February, and runs until 5 March, with a livestreamed performance via OT on Screen on 24 February, also available on demand 8-11 March.
