A young woman and her male friend boarded a bus in urban Delhi heading for home. What followed, changed the lives of these two people and countless others forever.

Internationally acclaimed playwright and director Yael Farber creates a searing new work that cracks open the cone of silence around women whose lives have been shattered by gender-based violence. Tearing away the shame that keeps the survivors silent, Nirbhaya is a voyage into a tapestry of personal testimonies that speaks for a world no longer able to hold the tides of change at bay. With a power-house cast and creative team comprising some of India's finest artists, Nirbhaya is a blistering evocation of that terrible night and the ripples of change it set in motion.

Teamwork Arts presents, in association with British Council, the India tour of Nirbhaya - an Assembly, Riverside Studios and Poorna Jagannathan production.

NIRBHAYA premiered at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world, in August 2013. It won the coveted Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award given to an outstanding Fringe production which raises awareness of human rights. It also won the Scotsman Fringe First and the Herald Angel Award for Outstanding New Play.

The play performs as part of Southbank Centre’s Women of the World festival before the India tour
