Handful of Henna

Rasa and Oxfordshire Theatre Company presents Handful of Henna, written by Rani Moorthy and directed by Karen Simpson.

Being dragged by her mother back to the family village thousands of miles away is no fun for 13-year-old Nasreen. In the monsoon rain, not being able to text friends, and surrounded by wagging tongues of relatives, she is about to discover some unexpected truths. Based on real stories from Muslim women this is joyous and moving story about the mystical power of henna and one girl’s journey to understanding her mother.

Skipping back and forth across time, four actresses create a bustling, colourful world bursting with music, dance and family celebration.

From the writer of the international hit show ‘Curry Tales’.

Tickets £10, Swindon Card £9.50, Party Bookings £9.00, Theatre Treat £8.00, Student Ticket £6.00
