Manchester’s Three Minute Theatre, the only purpose-built boutique theatre in Central Manchester, is building on its established reputation for originality and creativity and opportunity with a Bollywood-inspired production.
The venue is working with Chorlton based actor/writer Nakib Narat (Radio 4, World Service, Granada) to produce The Bollywood Girls of Blackburn.
The play highlights the common ground between Asian and white people, even in the notoriously racially divided towns of north west England.
Bollywood Girls of Blackburn sets out to demonstrate that unity is possible through shared enjoyment of an entertainment culture that now encompasses the globe.
The musical will be on from June 9 to 14 but it is also hoped to tour it to more theatres in the autumn.
Audience members will be encouraged to come dressed as Bollywood stars with a prize for best dressed each night.
