Prashant Tailor

Prashant is a South-Asian theatre maker who’s keen on working both classical and modern texts to find out why they appeal to our human condition. He not only enjoys composing shows which champion underrepresented communities and underdogs but lives for challenging what theatre is by definition, function and cultural association.
