May - June 2016
Gielgud Theatre

by Shazia Ashraf

The play introduces us to Nadia, a cricket-obsessed young Pakistani girl, M’Bilia, a devout churchgoer in the Congo and Catherine, the headmistress of an English private school. Using text, movement and music, the play explores the effects of child abuse on these otherwise unconnected lives to ask questions about the abuse of power and the need to speak the truth.

Sweets and Chocolates was developed through Kali’s Writer Development Programme and was presented as a reading at Talkback in January 2016.
