What happens when crimes against women turn into crimes against race? In the form of a murder mystery, Counter Offence examines how the collision between the struggle to end domestic violence and the fight to end racism forces us to question our own prejudices and motivations.

February 19, 2020

First produced at the Strathearn Intercultural Centre to critical acclaim and subsequently translated into French as L'Affaire Farhadi with similar success, the themes in Counter Offence are as current as ever. With this in mind, multi-award winning, published playwright and Teesri Duniya Theatre artistic director Rahul Varma has updated his play to further heighten the relevancy. In counterpoint, domestic violence and racism blur, distorting the issues while officials satisfy their own agendas. Teesri Duniya Theatre is proud to present this important show playing at the Segal Centre for the Performing Arts from March 11-29, directed by Arianna Bardesono. Continuing their mandate to encourage dialogue, the company will hold post-show talkbacks on March 16, 22, 24 and 29.
