A devastatingly effective modern parable about poverty and corruption in an Indian village.
John Clifford's play Light in the Village opens with the Goddess Kali addressing the audience in a broad Scottish accent. In the village, where poor people stay forever poor, governed by their corrupt masters, enlightenment takes many forms. Who will bring light to the village?
The play was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 1991.
John Clifford (now known as Jo Clifford) is an award-winning playwright, translator, poet and performer, who has also worked as a journalist and academic. As John Clifford, he was instrumental in establishing the reputation of the Traverse Theatre Company in the 1980s.
