Darkling

'I walk home. The skyline is changed. The skeleton is fast becoming a huge metal creature. They have built a behemoth here.' Bhopal. India. 1984. Born under a blue sky in a city of lakes, a girl grows up with her father and sister. The three of them together, always. But as she grows, the land begins to change. A giant factory rises over her town. Her mother always wanted more for them – now the girl wants more too. Then comes the night that tears everything apart. Ferocious, brutal and damning, Darkling is an epic story of a life ravaged by ecological disaster. Titas Halder's play premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Matthew Xia and co-produced with Actors Touring Company, before touring the UK.
