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. Recommended for ages 14+
