FINDING NOOR by Nalini Chetty is inspired by the extraordinary life of Noor Inayat Khan. An Indian princess; a Sufi who wrote Buddhist fables for children; an anti-imperialist who spied for the British Empire and the first female operator in Nazi occupied France. A rehearsed reading directed by Guy Hollands.

Part reggae gig, part autobiographical monologue, it is an interweaving exploration of Scottish-Caribbean connections from within her own family; the history of slavery; to modern day exploitation and the sexual politics of the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon.
