The Husbands. Sharmila Chauhan

Аннотация:

‘In my world women marry only once.’ ‘Not here, brother, not here.’ An explosive new play about love, jealousy and one woman’s choices. It’s Aya’s wedding day. Her third. In a society in which there are few women, that’s just what happens. But as her two husbands prepare for the wedding feast, a stranger arrives who threatens to challenge everything they believe in. Against a backdrop of modern rural India, Sharmila Chauhan weaves an extraordinary tale of love and wonder. Exploring matriarchy, ritual, female genocide, sexuality and power, this is a sensual, joyful and provocative piece of theatre.
