THE WRONG GODS

About the show

Deep in a remote Indian valley lives Nirmala, a steadfast traditionalist, and her daughter Isha, who dreams of leaving the village to study and become a scientist. When a stranger arrives promising progress and an offer too good to be true, the choices they make will shape the fate of their family – and thousands of others. Following the overwhelming acclaim of his epic works Counting and Cracking and The Jungle and the Sea, Australian playwright S. Shakthidharan returns with an intimate, compelling story of a mother and daughter divided by their visions of the future. If everything in this world comes at a cost, who gets to decide what that cost will be?
