Kash Arshad x Jenny Sealey | In Conversation

Mon 11 Oct 2021 | Our People, Our Plays

Kash Arshad, director of 10 Nights, and Jenny Sealey, Artistic Director of Graeae, sit down at the Bush to chat. They discuss all things 10 Nights – the process of making, the changes to the show, and the ways they have experimented with integrated creative access. 

Last week, Graeae, Tamasha and the Bush announced that the opening of 10 Nights would be delayed. It will now begin previews on Thursday 14 October, and open on Monday 18 October.

Every rehearsal process takes a play in new directions, especially when producing new writing. This is even more true when developing creative accessibility, elements which are not only functional, but part of the beauty of this production.

If there is one thing that we have learned in the last year, it’s the importance of taking the time and space to get the work right, and to take care of the people making it. We have made the decision to delay the opening of this production to allow our team the time they need to achieve its full potential.

We are very excited to share this production of Shahid Iqbal Khan’s beautiful script with audiences. We look forward to sharing it with you.

10 Nights is playing in the Studio until Saturday 6 November. Book now
