MAIEUTIC THEATRE WORKS (MTWorks) and producer, Martha Goode, are pleased to announce the world premiere production of Riti Sachdeva's PARTS OF PARTS & STICHES, directed by Cat Parker. PARTS OF PARTS & STITCHES will play a three-week limited engagement at the Theater at 14th Street (14th Street Y, 334 East 14th St., NYC). Performances begin Thursday, March 15 and continue through Saturday, March 31. Opening Night is Tuesday, March 20 (7 p.m.).

A joyous, colorful occasion, a wedding day in the Punjab region, 1947, the patchwork of two families eager with anticipation for their pending unification. In PARTS OF PARTS & STITCHES, Yamuna and Jiwan prepare for their lives and future together in a small village of what is soon to become Pakistan. Soon after the couple celebrates their matrimony, the reality of the political and religious upheaval forced on the country by Britain's abandonment, becomes apparent. The violence of man against man, Hindus against Muslims, erupts in a horrific massacre. With perseverance and a will to survive, Yamuna desperately attempts to stitch back the pieces of her life.

PARTS OF PARTS & STITCHES uses magical realism to show the horrific events that occurred during Partition.
