This is the programme for ‘Meri Kahani’ (My Story), one of Kali Theatre Company’s outreach events. Kali Theatre collaborated on this unique project with the Southall Black Sisters (SBS), a London based women’s organisation which helps victims of domestic violence. ‘Meri Kahani’ was the result of a series of creative writing workshops for SBS members in which participants were paired with experienced writers who served as their mentors. The stories that emerged from the workshops, both in English and South Asian languages, were dramatised and performed by actors, and in some cases the writers themselves, on 25 September, 2002. The stories featured are: ‘Veil’ by Yasmin Khan, ‘A True Story’ by Fiaz Ghaus, ‘Shazia’s Story’ by Samia Khan, ‘Goodnight Butterfly’ by Manjinder Virk, ‘A Journey to the Unknown’ by Fayeeza Hanoush, ‘A Letter to my Mother’ by Norma Lloyd, ‘Meri Kahani’ by Joginder Kaur, ‘Relatively Sane’ by Parm Kaur, ‘Woh Kaisa Chor Tha’ by Bobbie Wasson, ‘Tea & Jalebies’ by Bettina Gracias, ‘Lingerie’ by Freda Obado, ‘A Quick Chat’ by Kam Dhenjan and ‘The Dirty Mattress’ by Rahila Gupta. The event took place at the Waterman Arts Centre in Middlesex.
