PARTS OF PARTS AND STITCHES
Writer: Riti Sachdeva
Director: Cat Parker
CASTING BREAKDOWN
ROLE:
Vulture: Seeking Caucasian Male, 18+; The vultures have a hermaphroditic quality, working the continuum of masculine-feminine. They function independently and as a sort of “Greek Chorus.” They are onstage at all times. They instigate, inform, and bait. The ability to play an instrument, dance/move well, and/or sing is helpful.
NOTE: British accents for the role of Vulture welcome but not necessary.
About the Play: “Parts” is about a relationship coming together, while a people are torn apart. The action takes place in a small village in the Mianwali district of the NorthWest Frontier Province/Punjab (in what is now Pakistan). A young couple takes their final steps toward marriage, with all the joy and pressure that such a union creates with people all over the world. But their union is short-lived, horribly aborted by the violence that accompanies the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. A woman, horribly widowed, must make a journey to find the pieces of her husband in order to reconcile his loss. “Parts” deals with a very real issue in a fantastical way, and uses a “greek chorus” of vultures to prod, illustrate and underline the story.
