Darkling

By Titas Halder

Bhopal. India. 1984.

I walk home. The skyline is changed.

The skeleton is fast becoming a huge metal creature.

They have built a behemoth here.

Born under a blue sky in a city of lakes, a girl grows up with her father and sister. The three of them together, always.

But as she grows, the land begins to change. A giant factory rises over her town. Her mother always wanted more for them – now the girl wants more too.

Then comes the night that tears everything apart.

Ferocious, brutal and damning, this epic story of a life ravaged by ecological disaster is written by Titas Halder (Foal, Finborough), directed by Matthew Xia (Tambo & Bones, ATC / Stratford East) and stars Linnea Berthelsen (Stranger Things).

Following the run at the Bush, Darkling will be embarking on a UK tour. Find out more here.
