Break The Floorboards

Break The Floorboards, a new dance comedy drama from Rifco Arts and Watford Palace Theatre.

Fusing the enthralling dance styles of Bollywood and Street, this is a story about Zain, a teenage Muslim boy. All Zain wants to do is dance, but a disapproving family, peer pressure, his two left feet and an impending fascist march are all getting in his way. A chance meeting with Sophie, a young dancer, ignites hope but can he really escape the grim reality of his recession-hit hometown and turn his life into the glittering world of his Bollywood fantasies.

Break The Floorboards is Rifco Arts’ first full dance project, having previously delighted audiences with hit musicals and dramas such as the award-winning Britain’s Got Bhangra, The Deranged Marriage, There’s Something About Simmy and MummyJi Presents.

At Watford Palace Theatre 3-11 May, before embarking on tour: Warwick Arts Centre, Oxford Playhouse, Oldham Coliseum Theatre, The Key Theatre Peterborough and Theatre Royal Windsor.
