Ank Marks Golden Jubilee with New Play on Warrior Queen Veera Rani Abbakka
Theatre group Ank is marking its golden jubilee with a new production that returns to one of coastal India’s most formidable historical figures, Veera Rani Abbakka. Titled Veera Rani Abbakka: The Queen of the Seas, The Flame of Ullala, the play is written, directed and headlined by Priita Mathur Thakur, positioning the project as both a commemorative milestone and a cultural reclamation of a largely under-told legacy.
