In Rural Nepal, Traveling Theatre Group Helps Villagers Challenge Child Marriage And Domestic Violence

THEATRE Posted: October 23, 2020 11:01 am

Says director Ghimire Yubaraj, “It would be easy to be judgmental and disregard the audience members as poor or uneducated, but their ideas can be brilliant.” – The Guardian
