My Name Is...

Sudha Bhuchar's play about a mixed-race family breakdown, inspired by 2006 reports that a young Scottish girl had been abducted by her father and taken to Pakistan.

In 2006 newspaper reports that a young Scottish girl had been abducted by her father and taken to Pakistan created headlines around the world. The story seemed to represent a clash of religious and cultural values between East and West. But the problem was - the girl hadn't been abducted. In an effort to find the story behind the headlines the actress and playwright, Sudha Bhuchar, interviewed the three main family members involved. Her play is inspired by those real-life events.
