Castaways
Challenging new play about what leads young people into extremism.
Produced by Mandala Theatre Company, Castaways is about three close friends from different backgrounds who have grown up together until something shocking blows their world apart.
The characters feel alienated from their community and each one suffers separation from a close family member.
“Castaways is a bold piece of writing which does not shy away from showing the circumstances that can lead vulnerable people into extremism”, comments playwright Atiha Sen Gupta.
“We see work like Castaways as vital for opening up debate amongst communities and young people faced with the issues raised in the play on a daily basis.” says Mandala ‘s artistic director Yasmin Sidhwa.
