The rape and murder of 23 year old Jyoti Singh Pandey on a Delhi bus last year bought protestors to the streets and calls for changes to Indian law. Now a play inspired by those violent acts is being staged at the Edinburgh fringe festival. While it’s not a re-enactment of what happened in Delhi last December, the story serves as a starting point for other stories of violence. The play is called Nirbhaya, meaning ‘fearless one’ in Hindi – and it’s the name the Indian media gave to Jyoti Singh Pandey after her death. Jenni talks to the play’s director Yael Farber, and the actor Rukshar Kabir.

Nirbhaya is at the Assembly Hall until August 26.
