Upstairs Downstairs: Free Outgoing

Written by Anupama Chandrasekhar

2 - 19 July

Following their sold-out success in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs,

three Royal Court

productions return in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs.

 

Just one text message. That's all it took for Deepa to be hated by the nation.

''Anupama Chandrasekhar's debut cleverly exposes several contradictions at the heart of 21st century Indian society.'' Metro     

When a well-behaved Indian girl is filmed having sex in her classroom, the video clip spreads like a virus. Transmitted from person to person and across the globe it infects firstly the local community and then seemingly the entire world with a burning moral outrage.

Free Outgoing sets the rampant technology of the modern world against the conservatism of an ancient culture.
