First Performed - Unity, Liverpool (2023)
Drawing on her Guyanese and Indian heritage, Martha Me and my Family weaves together the story of 17-year-old wannabe star Saphena, with the story of her ancestors, thh British colonial legacy and Motown music in a funny and poignant play.
​
Martha, Me and My Family was performed as a scratch performance as part of Unity's Open Call. We are planning to develop the project for a future tour.
