'To Whom It May Concern' is an emerging writers night produced and directed by Salt Circle Productions and for this show we have the brilliant Arno van Zelst co-producing with us. The one-hour show consists of monologues around different themes. Tonight’s theme is 'Old and New' and will be performed by brilliant London based actors.
This is an evening of letters that were never sent. A night of connection, revolution and power as we hear the voices of 'us', the general public that is often overlooked.

bhakti jain
Director of 'Last Letter to Ma'
bhaqti is an Indian writer, on-and-off musician and performer, and full-time explorer. Currently studying World Performances, Theatres and Cultures at Goldsmiths, she is on the lookout for any opportunities she gets to learn from, and about, theatre and its practices.
Starting in her teenage years as a singer and aspiring music composer with a writing process which made conversations with her own self, bhaqti’s creative process is about making connections. Her love for theatre roots from the inclusivity that the space represents, thereby treating it as a space that can multiply this inclusivity through multidimensional connections which are respectful of individual as well as collective spaces. She seeks to amplify Hope by focusing on internal dialogisms which can generate more kindness. Her practice seeks to explore the relationships we can have with our own selves, and the power of Love in its multitudinous forms.
She was drawn towards Zarshaa’s Last Letter to Ma because of the complexity of Love that it expresses in its simultaneous affection and frustration and nostalgia.
