#CHARLOTTESVILLE

Slightly bombastically billed as ‘the play Trump does not want you to see’ – we’re pretty sure the only theatre he has heard of is the musical Cats – Indian-born, US-educated performer Priyanka Shetty’s solo show #CHARLOTTESVILLE nonetheless looks like a promising and topical docu-drama about the infamous Unite the Right white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virgina on August 11 and 12 2017. Having moved to Charlottesville to study acting at the University of Virginia shortly beforehand, Shetty was horrified at events and constructed the play verbatim from interviews, court documents and news reports.
