Behud at Soho Theatre

BEHUD by Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti, directed by Lisa Goldman - 13 April - 8 May, 7.30pm. In December 2004, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's controversial play Behzti rocked the world of theatre when it was sensationally cancelled after protests in Birmingham. The closure of the play sparked a vehement debate about offence and freedom of speech.

In Behud, a playwright attempts to make sense of the past by visiting the darkest corners of her imagination. Set amidst the theatre establishment, politicians and protesters, Behud is a playful response to the events surrounding Behzti, and the story of an artist struggling to be heard.
