Playwright Vikram Phukan knows the travails of negotiating life as an immigrant. Having lived in England's Nottingham city in mid-2000, he's been there, done that. Except, he had it easier than most.

In his latest play, Those Left Behind Things, he touches upon the vulnerability and resilience of immigrants through the eyes of an Iranian asylum-seeker. The play examines displacement, and the inextinguishable human spirit. Performed by actors Gandharv Dewan and Rushabh Kamdar, the two-hour-long play has also been directed by Phukan.
