Frankie Goes to Bollywood

★★★★★

Bollywood, the billion pound Indian film industry, is synonymous with high-energy, perfectly choreographed, song-and-dance numbers, elaborate costuming, and melodramatic storylines that convey a deeper moral lesson to the audience. Rifco Theatre Company have now taken these key Bollywood elements and combined them with the experiences of British women within the Bollywood film industry bubble to produce a brand new musical entitled Frankie Goes to Bollywood.

Silence

In 1947, the Partition of India took place. Marking the end of British colonial rule, India was divided into three parts: India, West Pakistan (now Pakistan), and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The Partition triggered one of the largest mass migrations in history, with an estimated 10-15 million people crossing between the different countries. Accompanying this migration came unprecedented violence. Riots, massacres, millions of deaths, and the decimation of entire villages irrevocably changed the social fabric of the region and also shaped modern Britain.
