Theatre Passe Muraille: Through the Eyes of God (World Premiere)
Details
“A searing tale of a Mother’s devotion, defiance, and survival.”
Two decades after Anusree Roy wrote her hit play Pyaasa, she returns to Theatre Passe Muraille with a powerful sequel — Through the Eyes of God.
Tickets are $40 each. Reserve your own at the link below. Venue only has 40 seats!!
Chaya, the protagonist at the centre of the original play, is now a spirited young woman and mother, who is arrested for the desperate act of stealing rice to feed her young daughter. But soon she faces a far greater horror: her child, Krishna, has been trafficked to Delhi. Driven by primal love, she embarks on a gut-wrenching journey through the underbelly of a broken system, where every lead is a gamble and every choice is impossible. Through the Eyes of God is a piercingly emotional and sharply critical journey that asks: How far will a mother go to protect her child?

I found this review from 2008--PYAASA (her original play about the outlawed caste system)
