Event Description

Bravely Fought the Queen' by Mahesh Dattani is a day in the life of the Trivedi family - a particularly provocative day in the life of a distinctly dysfunctional family. A guest in the house unwittingly becomes the catalyst that unearths the almost otherworldly trauma heretofore swept underneath this home's intricate rugs.
‘A playwright of world stature’—Mario Relich, Wasafiri First staged in 1991, Bravely Fought the Queen created a stir with its disturbingly honest portrayal of the dysfunctional Trivedi family, confirming Dattani's reputation as a playwright at the top of his game. Unfolding at a relentless pace, the play provides an unflinching insight into the urban Indian milieu, throwing light on a wide range of issues—marital friction, sibling rivalry, sexual politics and the lies we often tell ourselves—before racing to a shocking finale. ‘At last we have a playwright who gives sixty million English-speaking Indians an identity’—Alyque Padamsee ‘Powerful and disturbing’—The New York Times
