| Description: |
The first collection of plays from Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti ? a brilliant (and to some controversial) contemporary playwright. |
| Synopsis: |
Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti has written extensively for stage, screen and radio. Her first play Behsharam (Shameless) broke box office records when it was produced in 2001. Her second play Behzti (Dishonour) won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2005. Behzti rocked the world of theatre when it was cancelled after protestsin Birmingham, forcing the playwright into hiding. The play's closure sparked an international debate about offence and freedom of expression. In 2014, Khandan (Family) was co-produced by the Birmingham Rep and the Royal Court Theatre. This is her first volume of collected works.Behsharam (Shameless) Two daughters, two mothers, one father, a cardboard cut-out and a foul-mouthed granny ? a household at war and a family which will do anything to protect its secrets.Behzti (Dishonour) Past her prime, Min happily spends her life caring for her frail, vicious mother, Balbir.
