The Husbands

‘In my world women marry only once.’

‘Not here, brother, not here.’

An explosive new play about love, jealousy and one woman’s choices.

It’s Aya’s wedding day. Her third. In a society in which there are few women, that’s just what happens. But as her two husbands prepare for the wedding feast, a stranger arrives who threatens to challenge everything they believe in.

Against a backdrop of modern rural India, Sharmila Chauhan

weaves an extraordinary tale of love and wonder. Exploring matriarchy, ritual, female genocide, sexuality and power, this is a sensual, joyful and provocative piece of theatre.
