This this new feature curated by Theatre maker, language teacher and FringeReview reviewer Deborah Nicholson, Deborah speaks to Vibhinna Ramdev her Edinburgh Fringe show Why English? Her show is billed as follows: “An Indian woman questions her life in the post colonial era. English unknowingly forced on her, leaves her with an identity crisis. Questioned your identity? Come! Maybe you’ll find some answers. Inspired by personal experiences and interactions. Interactive set with beautiful fabrics. Powerful, engaging and great comic timing. Draws you in and leaves you feeling warm and wholesome. You are invited to life!”
In this important and fascinating conversation as part of a new virtual conversation initiative, Deborah focuses on shows and arts making that is not presented in a first language. How do we prepare audiences for performance that is not necessarily in their first language? Look out for further conversations in this initative called “Voices”.
