Six short plays exploring estrangement and loneliness, moving towards redemption and hope. First performed and livestreamed from the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2021.
Seventeen-year-old Asha is an emphatic rebel, unafraid of pointing out the hypocrisy around her but less sure how to actually dismantle it. Her younger sister, Bettina, wide-eyed and naïve, is just trying to get through the school day without getting her pocket money nicked. Between essays, homework and bus journeys home the two sisters meet outside the school gates each afternoon, smarting at the injustice of the world around them. Bouncing with wit, Sonali Bhattacharyya’s mesmerizing play Two Billion Beats is an insightful, moving and tremendously funny coming-of-age story about the unfairness of growing up in a world where you don't make the rules. It premiered at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in February 2022. An earlier version of the play was performed as part of the Orange Tree's Inside/Outside season, livestreamed in 2021.
Slavná anglická spisovatelka Jane Austenová napsala řadu románů. Jedním z nich je román Opatství Northanger. Sedmnáctiletou Catherine Morlandovou uvedou příbuzní v lázeňském městečku Bath poprvé do společnosti. Na jednom z plesů se seznámí s mladým panem Tilneym, který jí padne do oka. Potancovačkách, procházkách na kolonádě a výletech do okolí si Catherine vždy najde čas na čtení hororových gotických románů. Naivní mladá dáma se ponoří do strašidelných příběhů a bujná fantazie jí připravuje vzrušující chvíle, když se vžívá do rolí hlavních hrdinů.
