Indigo Giant - Paperback
Description
by Ben Musgrave (Author), Leesa Gazi (Translator)
1859. A field in Kanaipur, Bengal.
Life-loving Sadhu Charan, an indigo farmer, is newly married to Kshetromani, a woman with visions of the
future. At first, all is idyllic. But when the new British planter Rose arrives, full of strange desires, the
creeping malignancy of the indigo system begins to strangle their happiness.
During the British Raj, to meet the world's insatiable desire for blue, vast swathes of the Bengali countryside were given over to the cultivation of the indigo plant. The atrocities committed by British planters triggered an extraordinary revolution that changed Bengal forever.
Indigo Giant is a gripping, haunting drama by award-winning playwright Ben Musgrave, inspired by Dinabandhu Mitra's trail-blazing Indigo Mirror, a play that shook colonial India. With songs in English and Bangla by Leesa Gazi.
CASTING: 10 actors (5 male, 4 female, 1 any gender) plus chorus
