A Small Family Business - Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Matilda Ziegler at the Norwich Puppet Theatre in 2020

Woyzeck - Georg Büchner
Directed by Samuel Webber at the Reynold’s Library in 2019
A brand new all-female version of a classic play. Franz Woyzeck is an infantry soldier in 19th century Germany; Marie is his long-suffering partner. To make ends meet they take part in scientific experiments, sell their possessions and lose every part of themselves. When Woyzeck starts to lose his mind, Marie has to choose between obeying the laws of society and doing what she needs to do to survive. There will be blood.
Akshita performed the role of Woyzeck.
Summerfolk - Maxim Gorky
Directed by Matilda Ziegler at the Norwich Puppet Theatre in 2019
Come into the Russian woods with writers, artists, doctors and lawyers to see what happens in Summer Folk! Summer folk on holiday in 1904, discussing life and art; all driving each other crazy along the way. Fine and funny performances from a wonderful cast.
Akshita contributed as Stage Manager.
Peace - Maxim Gorky
Directed by Samuel Webber at the Norwich Cathedral Cloisters in 2018
Greece is at war. Greece has been at war for a long time. Trygaeus, fed up with fighting, can think of only one solution: fight the Gods! Flying up to heaven on a giant dung beetle, Trygaeus and his band of farmers set out to rescue the goddess Peace and restore order to their home land. This ancient comedy is equal parts adventure, nonsense and terrible puns, and is certainly not one to be missed.

Dying For It - Inspired by The Suicide by Nikolai Erdman
Directed by Camilla Scaiff at the Blake Studio in 2017
Meet Semyon Semyonovich. Semyon is depressed and disheartened by his slum-dwelling existence so he resolves to kill himself, much to the annoyance of his long-suffering wife Masha and his wise-cracking mother-in-law Serafima. As soon as word gets around about his plans, Semyon is visited by a cast of colourful characters all determined not to pursuade him out of it, but to persuade him to kill himself in the name of their cause! Semyon finds himself at the centre of a movement much bigger than he ever imagined and things soon take a very unexpected turn, which will change everyone's lives for ever. This darkly funny, witty and fascinating play, will have audiences laughing out loud one minute and in stunned silence the next. The production is an adaptation of Nikolai Erdman's 'The Suicide'.
Akshita contributed as the sound and lighting operator.
