I was at @taratheatre.bsky.social last night to see the work of 3 fantastic writers Neetu Singh, Ayan Philip and Amin Ali (directed by Sameena Hussain, dramaturged by Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti) as part of the wonderful NOVA scheme. Aliens, virtual lovers and the good fight made for a magical evening. ❤️
