After the roaring success of Counting and Cracking, S. Shakthidharan and Eamon Flack have produced another play that will captivate audiences.
Protestors are occupying the presidential palace and Sri Lankans are suffering shortages of food, petrol and other supplies. The country is in chaos- and it isn’t just because of the economy.
As authorities desperately seek aid, the Sri Lankan crisis continues.
Sri Lankans are contending with growing levels of starvation, death and disruption. Now they are also facing the brutal violence of the state.
Aran Thangaratnam’s dark comedy sees two estranged Tamil brothers trying to mend tensions. It doesn’t always go to plan.
The Murugappans have been fighting to stay in Australia for years. All the while, Sri Lanka has one of the worst records of state-perpetrated violence against civilians in the early 21st century.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa is the frontrunner in the presidential election. He was defence secretary during his brother Mahinda’s presidency when the government is accused of numerous wartime atrocities.
The Sri Lankan government has made little progress in providing accountability for wartime abuses.
