Theatre in the Mill Commissions: 
Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Othello but set in modern-day Bradford using historical figures from the time of Mughal India, Peacocks follows Khurram’s struggle from reluctant Prince to proud Emperor.  Peacocks explores ideas of social acceptance and how we can succumb to presumptions about gender, race and status.
Peacocks is a new piece and its journey from page to stage can be followed on twitter @PeacocksThePlay
