A Thin Red Line In A Thin Red Line, a young couple return home to confront the prejudice and cultural problems that led them to leave home to make a new start just down the road in Birmingham. The play is written by Midlands-born South Asian female writer Sonali Bhattacharyya and directed by Janet Steel of the London-based Kali Theatre Company. It explores what it means to be different and how to belong in twenty first century Britain. Five Black Country community groups took part in workshops for the production听 where the sixtieth anniversary of Partition of India was used as a starting point for discussion.  A Thin Red Line Creative processWorkshops then moved on to tackle a central question: what does partition mean in Britain today? "We believe it鈥檚 important for people who don鈥檛 work in the arts to inform and be part of the creative process," says Bobby Tiwana of reSonAte, the programme co-ordinator of Black Country Touring. "The play evolved from those discussions," he said.  A Thin Red Line TouringA Thin Red Line is co-produced by Black Country Touring, Kali Theatre Company and the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
