The Orange Tree Theatre have announced full casting for the world premiere of Two Million Beats, which runs from 9 February-5 March.

The show, written by Sonali Bhattacharyya, stars Anoushka Chadha as Bettina and Safiyya Ingar as Asha. It tells the story of seventeen year old Asha, an emphatic rebel who smarts at the injustice around her and is unafraid of pointing out the hypocrisy of it, just is unsure of how to do anything about it.

Backed up by younger sibling Bettina, who really just wants to make it through the school day without her pocket money being nicked. Bhattacharyya’s tale is moving, insightful and funny and focus on the unfairness of growing up in a world where you don’t make the rules.

The show will be livestreamed on 24 February and will be available on demand between 8-11 March 2022.

OT Artistic Director Paul Miller said: “I’m delighted that Anoushka Chadha and Safiyya Ingar join us to be in Sonali Bhattacharyya’s exciting new play, directed by Nimmo Ismail. It’s great to be starting a new year with a new play made by some artists new to the OT, one that shows two young women facing the moral challenges thrown at them with rigour and wit.”
