MAYA PRODUCTIONS
Inspired by Maya Production's new musical in development 'Benny and the Greycats' which tells the story of a family of Anglo-Indian musicians that swap playing in a swing band in South India for a new life in 1960s Sheffield; Maya Productions and Ignite Imaginations have come together to develop a community arm of the project. We aim to celebrate and explore the theme of migration and journeys with people living in Sheffield today.
