A Conversation with Playwright Ankita Raturi
kt shorb will host a conversation with the award-winning playwright, Ankita Raturi, about her writing process and weaving important socio-political themes into storytelling. Ankita (she/her) is currently a Queens based writer and teaching artist who grew up in capital cities, pediatric gastroenterology offices, and the bisexual closet. She writes hyper-theatrical works in Hindi/Urdu, English, and sometimes Bahasa Indonesia about living between cultural identities and contending with the ongoing legacies of colonization. Her play "Fifty Boxes of Earth", a creative response to Bram Stoker's "Dracula", will be premiering at Theater Mu from Feb 27-Mar 16.
