Absolutely blown away by 'Silence' The Rep Adapted from Kavita Puri 'Partition Voices, directed by Iqbal Khan,the production uses mixed media & clever staging to tell the stories of the silent.The actors were superb- it bought me to tears. Close to the bone and unapologetic.

This podcast by Kavita Puri is so important and so good that I’m listening to it for a third time. I strongly recommend it.

Went to see Silence x Tara Theatre
Partition of India in 1947 saw millions of people displaced. Untold stories adapted from Kavita Puri book ‘Partition Voices’. To those who died never sharing their stories as the horrors were too much 💔 #Partition

Putting untold history into the public space unlocks so many other stories. In the post-show q&a it was very moving to hear the audience share how partition touched their lives and continues to do. Silence is on The Rep this week. This is British history #partitionvoices

Powerful, deep and thought provoking! An incredible performance made even more special with the intimate questions/answers session post performance! Kavita Puri The Rep Tara Theatre

‘dialogue and openness are always the best antidotes to culture war’ says Corinne Fowler and look how brilliantly she did this in relation to those that criticised her own research. A great interview worth your time

Just listened to Kavita Puri’s 🔥series, Three Million, on BBC Sounds, about the horrors of British India’s man-made famine during WW2.
3 million starved to death.
But, in a world that memorialises every little thing about WW2, their memory is largely absent.
