TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT!
The critically acclaimed, award winning Santi & Naz will be embarking on a UK National Tour this Autumn and we couldn't be more excited!
After winning the Charlie Hartill Fund in 2023, which allowed us to take a newly developed version of the show to Edinburgh Fringe in 2023, the play will be visiting some of the biggest and best regional theatres between 8th October and 8th November 2024. The tour is supported by Arts Council England's Touring Projects strand and is a co-production with Pleasance.
Santi and Naz are best friends living in a small village in India. When Naz is betrothed to an older man, the threat of their separation looms large on the horizon. As the political situation around the country’s partition worsens, they decide to take drastic action.
Santi & Naz explores female friendship, coming of age, and coming out set against the backdrop of a country soon to be changed forever.
A new play by developed by Guleraana Mir & Madelaine More, written by Guleraana Mir and afshan d’souza-lodhi, from award-winning company, The Thelmas, makers of LADYKILLER, Son Of A B*tch & COCONUT.
