Behud (beyond belief)
In December 2004, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's play Behzti rocked the world of theatre when it ws cancelled after protests in Birmingham, forcing the playwright into hiding. The closure of the play sparked a vehement debate about offence and freedom of speech. In Behud, a playwright attempts to make sense of the past by visiting the darkest corners of her imagination. Set amidst the theatre establishment, politicians and protesters, Behud is a playful response to the events surrounding Behtzi.
