About Event
Trident Moon is a searing tale of families torn apart by religious violence, and women and children forced to summon unknown strengths in their quest for survival. Multi-award-winning playwright Anusree Roy paints a stark picture of India’s partition, thrusting us into its raw and ruthless aftermath. The result is an achingly beautiful story which unflinchingly confronts sectarian brutality with unexpected hope and resilience.
Audiences are taken on an extraordinary and harrowing journey, delving into the lives of women and children caught in the crossfire during a pivotal moment in world history.
Trident Moon was commissioned by Nightwood Theatre and premiered at the Finborough Theatre in London, UK, on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Partition of India.
