Darkling

A damning new play from Titas Halder, an epic story of a life ravaged by ecological disaster.

Bhopal. India. 1984.  
 
Born under a blue sky in a city of lakes, a girl grows up with her father and sister. The three of them together, always. 
 
But as she grows, the land begins to change. A giant factory rises over her town. Her mother always wanted more for them - now the girl wants more too. 
 
Then comes the night that tears everything apart. 
 
Ferocious, brutal and damning, this epic story of a life ravaged by ecological disaster is written by Titas Halder (Foal, Finborough) and directed by Matthew Xia (Tambo & Bones, ATC/Stratford East). 

"I walk home. The skyline is changed.  
The skeleton is fast becoming a huge metal creature.  
They have built a behemoth here.
