A book to accompany the play
Jugni – The Female Firefly is an original new play by three artists from Birmingham, UK. It was written, directed and performed by Raveeta Banger, Rupinder Kaur and Ashlee Elizabeth-Lolo, and produced by Rajinder Dudrah in 2021.
This book offers unique insights into the making, rehearsal, performance and filming of the play between Birmingham and Oxford by the production team, before and during the Covid pandemic. A detailed working script with stage and filming instructions is also included.
Jugni was produced as a part of the SLANGUAGES research project of Creative Multilingualism and explores themes of colonial history, race, and migration across time through spoken word.
