Neha and Neel

By Ankita Raturi
Directed by Agastya Kohli
A Co-Production with Pratidhwani and Seattle Public Theater

October 16th-November 8th, 2026

Neha (नेहा) fears she has failed to pass her language and culture down to her seventeen-year-old son, Neel (नील). A summer trip to visit colleges could be Neha’s last chance, if only she can get Neel to visit the historic Hope Diamond and witness a piece of Indian history for himself. नेहा & Neel asks what we lose with every generation in America, and if it’s ever too late to connect with your roots.
