Please send your headshot, bio and a short video monologue or a piece of acting to [email protected].

Synopsis of the play:

The play tells the story of Basant Adnani, a seventy year old Indian born British citizen, who was arrested by the US law enforcement on terrorism charges. Basant was accused of supplying weapons to a terrorist organization. He was found guilty by the court and was imprisoned for life. However, in reality Basant did not supply any weapons. The entire operation was a setup designed to trap Basant into doing the wrong thing. The terrorist organization, the contact, the weapons supplier, the weapons - everything were fake. What made the seventy year old salesman to fall into the trap is what the play explores.

Although the play is inspired by true events, the characters and the incidents portrayed in the play are purely fictional.
