Out of Cocoon started in September 2005 as a pioneering project to bring British actors to India to perform Shakespeare. The Maharana Mewar Charitable Foundation and their chairman Maharana Arvind Singh provided us with rehearsal and performing space in the City Palace, Udaipur, where over a two-month period we performed ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
Bringing English theatre to India proved to be very successful for Indians and westerners alike. Even those who don’t usually go to the theatre, found watching Shakespeare’s play an amazing experience. From the response of the audiences, we saw the benefit of our work and difference it made in cross cultural understanding. In 2006, we performed Twelfth Night to much wider audiences in Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur and Jaiselmer, with additional performances in schools and universities.
