“Kristine Landon-Smith's direction is coolly understated...the glowing heat of her production does deliver a scalding climax.”
Evening Standard
Ghostdancing (2001)
by Deepak Verma based on Emile Zola's Thérèse Raquin
Raj is a sickly young man who works as a petty railway clerk. He is married to his cousin, Rani, and the couple live with Raj’s mother who runs the family’s fabric shop, the mundane rhythm of their lives punctuated only by weekly games of carrom. One day Nitin, an old school friend of Raj, comes to visit and Rani finds herself drawn to his apparent passion for life like a moth to a flame, unleashing a chain of events with tragic consequences…
Ghostdancing is a classic tale of adultery and murder, skilfully transposed to a small town in present day Punjab.
