LEELA JHANSI

Fa Abdul & Big Nose Productions brings you LEELA JHANSI, a gripping tale of a stolen childhood, where dreams clash with harsh realities in the heart of a remote village. Thirteen-year-old Leela, a spirited girl with aspirations as vast as the open skies above her, yearns for education and the promise of a better future. However, her innocent dreams are shattered when the wealthiest man in the village proposes marriage, not out of love, but as a transaction for his own gain.

LEELA JHANSI weaves a compelling narrative that challenges conventional notions of morality and tradition, urging audience to confront the uncomfortable truths that lie beneath the surface of seemingly innocent customs. Through Leela’s courageous journey, the story poses thought-provoking questions about the value of a child’s innocence, the importance of education, and the power dynamics that govern our society. It is a tale that resonates far beyond the confines of its setting, offering a poignant reflection on the universal struggle for dignity, freedom, and the pursuit of one’s dreams.

Set to grace the stage from May 3rd to 5th, 2024 at Auditorium A, Level 5, Komtar, Penang, LEELA JHANSI promises to captivate audiences with its poignant exploration of a stolen childhood and the ethical dilemma surrounding child marriage.
