Sharvi Rana
Writer Theatre director ActorMy name is Sharvi Rana (she/her), I am 18 years old and I am an aspiring writer and theatre director based in Manchester. Being an immigrant myself, I am most interested in telling culturally diverse stories on stage to voice those who have been silenced throughout the white-washing of history. I make theatre that is political and topical, intended to provoke the audience to make a difference in the world around us.
