Cast list:

Midlands based Caste Away Arts are the artistic wing of the charity CasteWatchUK. They are fast making a name for themselves as an innovative young theatre company tackling taboo issues. They aim to eliminate discrimination through theatre and want to tell the stories of those that have been “cast away” from society because of their caste, creed, race, religion, age, gender or circumstances.

This thought provoking, inter-generational play has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and guarantees to touch the hearts of everyone who sees it. Written by Rena Dipti Annobil and Reena Bhatoa, featuring an incredible cast and moving scenes, don’t miss it!

Book in advance as it’s sure to sell-out again! Tickets are on sale now £7 (£5) on 0121 333 2444 and online at www.the-drum.org.uk and www.chilliticket.com.

at 7.30PM. Based on true life experiences and is a poignant insight into the caste discrimination within the British-Asian community viewed through the eyes of a young boy; the tale of Amrit Singh, who along with his family moves to a new city to make a fresh start. Unfortunately Amrit is unaware of the real reasons behind this sudden move until a religious education lesson opens his eyes. . .
