Shamshad Khan – Hard Cut
spoken word
When does one thing start and another end? Is it a gradual change or hard cut? Presenting poetic text and imagery with cinematic speed this one woman show is beautiful and unsettling with deeply moving glimpses of dying and lightly comic peeks at personal change.
Shamshad can command a stage with a quiet confidence that is a joy to behold. Conceived in Pakistan, born in England and resident in Manchester, she reflects both cultures with a keen eye and a well-honed pen.
