Gorgeous NEW pics from the Artists Day @polkatheatre last month where we shared my new play for children, Baki - The part left owing. Based on a true story, it's an intergenerational / 'family' /9+ play #bigdreamsfestival

Thanks @KNatashaChandra Abdul Shayek, @UzmaHameedRexha @azizeefawmi @HelenMatravers @madradster @aakram7 @BirdgirlUK for helping me through!

With humour (and rap), the play explores Bengali history and the challenges of relationships between men and what happens when an old man and a teenage boy stop to have a chat and manage to find a way through.

[Ruby Kitching @rubykitching]

The audience reaction - tears and laughter in just the right measure - told me that making up the balance, the baki, is such a universal ache that affects us all - wherever we are and whatever our background.

[Ruby Kitching @rubykitching]

The Polka audience came to see underrepresented artists expressing what they wished they'd seen on stage as children and what they want to see more of on stage today. I visited Polka as a child and with my own kids and so I feel a lot of love for that place!

[Ruby Kitching @rubykitching]

It's been so interesting translating something for the ears and mind into something visual and with movement too - I have my lovely team to thank for diving into the text and pulling so much out!

[Ruby Kitching @rubykitching]

a piece that explores what makes those relationships across generations so difficult and so special.
I first wrote Baki as an audioplay that toured exhibitions in Bangladesh and England for @tara_theatre's ambitious @thestageukawards nominated #artistsmakespace programme in '22.

@NickhanLDN playing Grandad and Michael Soukhan playing Grandson, directed by @tara_theatre associate Gavin Joseph.

What a wonderful team and audience of industry folk (and close friends and family!) We shared half an hour of this full length play fresh out of a short R & D -
