To make a film that will support Kali's much needed work to ensure the voice of UK South Asian women writers is heard in British theatres
by Kali Theatre in London, England, United Kingdom
On the 6th May 2021 we'd raised £5,445 with 57 supporters in 35 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Kali was established 30 years ago, when actor Rita Wolf wanted to tell the true story of a South Asian woman murdered by her husband for running away to a refuge. Undeterred by the lack of interest from theatres, Rita and the writer Rukhsana Ahmad set up Kali Theatre to present the play.
Since then, Kali has continued to produce intrepid, fearless theatre playing to national audiences, both live and online.
We have supported over a hundred talented South Asian women playwrights, without bias against faith, race, class, sexual orientation or disability. Our work has empowered South Asian women to play a leading role in theatrical creativity.
To mark our 30th birthday later this year, we want to make a short film that will tell Kali’s story – who we are, what we do and the importance of our work.
This film will help us share our story with people across the world, grow our network of supporters and unlock funding opportunities so we can continue our vital work.
COVID19 has severely disrupted our work, forcing the cancellation of all our live performances and writer support workshops.
When the pandemic comes to an end, we are determined to re-establish our writer support programme and create more exciting new plays that reflect and comment on our lives today.
We are also committed to restarting our national touring to present these plays in theatres across England, championing representation and inspiring new audiences from all backgrounds.
