THEATRE

- PERFORMANCE -

29 Nov
SHADES OF BROWN at The Barbican Theatre, Castle St, Plymouth
7:30pm, £10/£8

Written and performed by Rani Moorthy, this thought provoking one woman show asks: can one person's healthy glow be another's social stigma? Comic, bold and moving, the show looks at cultures of tanning and bleaching skin around the globe. From a South African albino to a skin-bleaching Indian bride, Rani Moorthy, with her celebrated mix of warmth and powerful story telling, transforms into funny and poignant characters who share an ironic kinship through the one thing they cannot hide or hide from - their skin. This show is presented by Asian Arts Agency as part of a new Cultural initiative sin partnership with Barbican Theatre to support Asian Arts in Plymouth.
