Behud (beyond belief)




By Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti
Directed by Lisa Goldman

In December 2004, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's play Behzti was cancelled after protests by local community in Birmingham. The closure of the play sparked a vehement debate nationally about offence and freedom of speech.

In Behud, she attempts to make sense of the past by responding to the events surrounding Behzti, and the story of an artist struggling to be heard.
