Event Description : THEATRE "An English Prison – The Trial Of Suresh Vaidya" English Play. 

Suresh Vaidya was a successful young writer living in London with his English wife and two daughters. He had already written two successful books and was a highly respected writer in the editorial board of Time magazine in London. He fell foul of the British authorities when he refused to be conscripted into the British Army to fight in World War 2. He would gladly fight as a free man, but not as a colonial subject. He was imprisoned in Canterbury and fought and won a landmark case in the British Court. His case was fought by famous lawyers like Sir Fenner Brockway and Lord Sorensen, and in a far-reaching judgement, the court ruled that the British Army could not compel a man to fight because he was a colonial subject. This play is based on a dramatization of Suresh Vaidya’s book: An English Prison.

Performed by the Akshara Repertory, Jalabala Vaidya, Rakesh Palisetty, Kishore Dayani and others.

Adapted and directed by Jalabala Vaidya
