RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews.

This week Vidar was reviewing the fresh and funny, new musical Bhangra nation that fuses college-campus angst with the colourful, high octane world of competitive bhangra dance competitions at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre with description by Professional Audio Describers Carolyn Smith and Julia Grundy.

About Bhangra Nation:

Are you ready to Bhangra? As the Uni Bhangra dance team wait nervously backstage to find out if they’ve made it to Nationals, the real showdown has already begun as team mates Preeti and Mary clash over what Bhangra really means to them. Whilst Preeti believes that the team needs to stick to tradition, Mary is passionate about shaking things up to belong to today. When a huge row changes the team forever, Mary and Preeti start on journeys of discovery into what they stand for and who they want to be.

A moving and funny new musical about friendship, family and identity, brought to life with boundless energy and joy, incredible dance moves and a truly bhangin’ soundtrack.
