SUNDIAL: FIRST PUBLIC READING

Running time: 60 mins

Genre:

Release Date: 12/10/2026

A woman reconstructs her life through the beds she has slept on. Hostel bunks, rented rooms, refuge shelters, a mattress on the floor. Each bed a short refuge or threat, until it was time to leave again.

Sundial is a new one-woman play by Sheeba Sehgal, drawn from her own experience of displacement. Directed by Eleanna Santorinaiou and performed by Megha Thyagarajan, this is the first time the play will be heard by an audience.

Join us for this first reading, followed by a short conversation with the team. Your response will help shape the play as it develops towards a full production in 2027.

Sundial is produced by Ji Joo.

Content note: contains strong language, sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and references to domestic abuse, sexual violence and child abuse. The evening will be filmed and photographed for the play's development.
