About
Caste Away Arts is a theatre company led by Rena Dipti Annobil and Reena Bhatoa. It all started in 2004 when Rena and Reena joined the charity CasteWatchUK which aims to eliminate caste discrimination in the UK. The two Re(e)na’s wanted to help with this good cause and decided to use their skills and experience in writing and drama to write a play about caste discrimination which was based on true life experiences of people that they met. They finished the play in early 2006 and wanted to produce it themselves and create a platform for future projects. And so Caste Away Arts was born.
Caste Away means to cast away the very notion of “caste”. It means celebrating equality and breaking down barriers. Caste Away Arts aims to tell the stories of those that have been “cast away” from society because of their caste, race or religion. We want to shed light on things that aren’t normally talked about, particularly in the British-Asian community, and we promise to tell it like it is.
