Kiln Theatre presents WHEN THE CROWS VISIT by Anupama Chandrasekhar

…and all the sins of his father and his forefathers came out of his body, through the pores of his skin, in the form of crows.

When a son returns home after being accused of a violent crime, a mother is forced to confront the ghosts of her past when the crows visit.

Inspired by true events in modern-day India, Anupama Chandrasekhar explores the themes of Ibsen’s Ghosts and the cyclical nature of oppression in a dark and thrilling world premiere.

Amazing production and was just left with so many thoughts about the subject matter. Well done to all the cast!

Britta Stephan

Funny, harrowing and anything in between. Highly recommended.

Kia Brame

It was a great show with an excellent plot twist. But in areas it was lacking pace, and there was too much shouting in certain parts, especially between the two mother's. The scene would've been more effective if there was less loud shouting.

Keya Desai

Brilliant script, performed well supported by effective set design. Soni Razdan's performance was on point.

kavita bhardwaj

Certain actors dialogues were not very clear Missed what they said quite a bit. Not sure it was due to sound issues but it certainly needs looking into.

Raksha Sumaria

It was a very powerful play. Good acting, this play is not for the faint hearted. It left me disturbed.

Vasika Madhaparia

Really nice venue

Mrs B Yogasakaran

Excellent play depicting life in India generations gone. Highlighting current issues of rape and murder repeating itself.And how rich and influential families get away from murder charges. All the actors did their part well. Particularly the newcomer Paul.
