- This article uses theatre to examine the cultural exchange between Wales and the Khasi-Jaiñtia Hills that is rooted in the presence of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Overseas Mission in north-east India (1841–1969). Focusing on Khasi plays from the colonial period as well as an example of Welsh missionary performance staged in Wales in 1929, the article considers the extent to which Welsh conceptions of theatre and drama influenced native performances in the Khasi Hills, and correspondingly, to what extent the missionaries’ perception of India influenced the idea and the representation of the country in Welsh performative portrayals.
