Where is home?
Where do we belong when the maps are redrawn?
What happens when we have to leave our homeland for a better future?

On board a ship, we meet a young woman on her voyage between homes. Having grown up in India and witnessing firsthand the historic events leading to Independence, she is now making the journey to Britain where she will spend the rest of her life.

Through flashbacks to her life in India and flash forwards to her future in the UK, the picture is painted of someone caught between two worlds, ethnicities and cultures.

Based on real people this three-hander features new writing, music and text taken from letters and diaries from theatre maker Daniel Tyler’s Anglo-Indian family.

Between the Two is embarking on a national tour to mark the UK-India Year of Culture which is supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England
