What is When The Crows Visit about?
...and all the immoral acts and wrongdoings of his father erupted from his body, seeping out the pores of his skin as pitch-black crows, harbingers of what's in store.
When a son comes home after being blamed for a bloody crime, his mother has no choice but to face the ghosts of her dark past.
Riveting new play When The Crows Visit is inspired by real events that occurred in modern-day India.

Amazing production and was just left with so many thoughts about the subject matter. Well done to all the cast!
Funny, harrowing and anything in between. Highly recommended.
It was a great show with an excellent plot twist. But in areas it was lacking pace, and there was too much shouting in certain parts, especially between the two mother's. The scene would've been more effective if there was less loud shouting.
Brilliant script, performed well supported by effective set design. Soni Razdan's performance was on point.
Certain actors dialogues were not very clear Missed what they said quite a bit. Not sure it was due to sound issues but it certainly needs looking into.
It was a very powerful play. Good acting, this play is not for the faint hearted. It left me disturbed.
Really nice venue
Excellent play depicting life in India generations gone. Highlighting current issues of rape and murder repeating itself.And how rich and influential families get away from murder charges. All the actors did their part well. Particularly the newcomer Paul.
Absolutely outstanding loved it
Wonderful show only regret no introduction of cast in the end. I have already recommended to friends.
It was a show that touched the real issues and was acted very well by all.
Very poignant and highly impactful. Loved it.
