Nocturne (2011) is a story about Night, and her friends elusive Sleep, devastating Dreams and clumsy Love, told in a language born of contemporary thought and traditional Indian mime.

World premiere for Resolution! 2011 at The Place Theatre, London.

​

"You didn't realize how subversive 'Nocturne' was until you were well into it, and it managed it all with perception and humor."
