CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A celebration of the arranged marriage system in all its sari swirling, heart-wrenching glory. Sharing an honest and thought provoking view of the conflicts within a modern British Asian family.

An entertaining and thought provoking exploration of the shifting trends which have led to more and more Asian elders being removed from their families to live in homes for the elderly.

A story that explores family, friendship, and fate – flavoured with a hint of Bollywood. The production is primarily in English, and occasional Punjabi/Urdu has English sub-titles.
