In post­colo­nial Lion Moun­tain, a deter­mined peas­ant seeks jus­tice after hav­ing his cow eaten by the dic­ta­tor of the land, Pres­i­dent Janta.

The Gospel of Oth­ello offers us a fresh way of see­ing Oth­ello. Avail­able for book­ing now.

What do host cit­i­zens have in com­mon with ‘out­siders’? How do we arrive at belong­ing? Avail­able for book­ing now.
