Loara High School Performing Arts Center,
1765 West Cerritos Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92804
Synopsis of the play
Everyone has their own stories—stories of life—that come to light at the appropriate moment and in the right environment. The red houses of Bow Barracks near Bowbazar police station in Kolkata bear witness to many stories of legacy of the British Raj. David Gale is a local Anglo-Indian resident of Bow Barracks.
Perched at a local bar, David is sipping mug after mug of beer and sharing stories with bartender Nikhil. On one side is the pride of the Anglo-Indian community’s British roots. On the other side, their struggles, deprivation, isolation, and shattered dreams. David shares extreme details — whether you want to know or not.
Reviews:
Bitish babu was recently performed in several stages in Kolkata and generated rave reviews.
