Out of Kali Shorts comes Kali Futures: four playwrights who show massive potential have emerged from Kali Shorts. The writers, Azma Khan, Saumya Balsari, Majinder Virk and Harpit Sekhon, have been supported through a process of dramaturgy, workshops and rehearsals to develop a new short script.

Professional actors will read over two nights at the Soho Theatre in Dean Street, four stimulating, hilarious and thought provoking plays from these new playwrights.

WEDNESDAY 24 SEPTEMBER
7.45pm - From Dawn to Dust by Harprit Sekhon.
Directed by Janet Steel.

9.00pm - Little Curry Club by Saumya Balsari
'Little Curry Club' is a wry comedy about three Asian females of different ages, communities and social background. The three women work respectively as volunteer, manager and TV documentary researcher in Indianeed, a Cambridge charity shop run by Mrs. Wellington-Smith, the snooty white owner. Bizarre events (including a corpse in the shop) soon unfold, sending their normal work day spiralling out of control. As they desperately attempt a sense of balance and order, their interaction reveals issues of class, race, imperialism, homosexuality and prejudice, as well as fissures within the generations of UK Asians.
Directed by Suzanne Gorman

THURSDAY 25 SEPTEMBER
7.45pm - Forgive by Manjinder Virk
Directed by Neil Biswas

9.00pm - Chaos by Azma Khan
Directed by Aileen Gonsalves.
