📱 eBook en inglés KING TROLL (THE FAWN)

Ill do anything for you. I can do anything for you.

Nikita and Riya are two South Asian sisters: insecure, stateless and desperate for somewhere to call home.

Nikitas work with young migrants requires her to keep her saviour complex in check as she negotiates the challenges and hypocrisy of the third sector. Meanwhile, Riya is offered the chance to create an advocate in the form of a homunculus (or fawn), and sees a chance to elevate herself above the cruelty meted out to others.

Sonali Bhattacharyyas play King Troll (The Fawn) is a dark and dystopian exploration of migrant experiences in all their complexity – and the troll that lives within all of us, whispering me, not us, and definitely me first. It was a finalist for the 2023 Womens Prize for Playwriting, and was first performed as a co-production between Kali Theatre and New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Milli Bhatia.
