ARTISTIC POLICY Kali inspires, develops, and presents new theatre writing by British South Asian women that reflects and comments on our lives today. Kali Theatre seeks out strong individual voices that can create compelling drama based on work that is both original and thought-provoking. Kali Theatre creates memorable experiences that reach and address audiences from all backgrounds. The company promotes the distinct perspective and experience of Asian women and celebrates that richness and diversity, presenting work that breaks down cultural boundaries.
REVIEW EXTRACTS A thoroughly enjoyable play from Kali…a good piece of wacky English radicalism. The Scotsman (Another Paradise) Cutting edge theatre at its best. What’s On (Love Comes in at the Window) Fine performances in Janet Steel’s moving production. Time Out (Calcutta Kosher)
