Actor Bhasker Patel on Nation and the National

4th January 2010

 

ASIAN VOICES: BHASKER PATEL

The actor, who is currently playing Mau’s father in Mark Ravenhill’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Nation (National), talks to Suman Bhuchar about this play, and about his 30 years in the business, which started at this flagship theatre in the 1970s and includes film and television classics. Recorded at the National.

I am really so glad that Asian theatre companies, such as Tara, Tamasha and Kali, are there for Asian actors to get jobs in contemporary plays.
