Notes: | This play was commissioned by the Cheltenham Everyman and Cheltenham Borough Council. It was written on behalf of a group of Bangladeshi woman who asked for a play to be written giving a positive view of arranged marriages. The play opens up debate about Eastern and Western marriages. It requires a very basic set and only two female actors (one of who should be of Asian origin). | |||||
Synopsis: | Mumtaz lives in Bangladesh and Tricia lives in Cheltenham. They are both getting married today. When Tricia mysteriously finds herself talking to Mumtaz her attitude is one of pity. How can Mumtaz allow her mother to chose her husband and arrange her marriage? But as the events of the day unfold, Tricia's prejudices are called into question. Which woman knows most about her future husband? And which marriage is more likely to last? | |||||

Notes: | This play was commissioned by the Cheltenham Everyman and Cheltenham Borough Council in the context of a project called The Community Ambassadors. It is based on interviews with a range of people who have arrived in England recently. It has been played in a range of community venues and always provoked much laughter - and some serious debate. It requires only three actors and no real set. | |||||
Synopsis: | Aisha needs a job. Saw See needs a mobile phone. Stanislaw needs sickness benefit. Each of them must navigate the shoals of English life. But do they - and the people they meet - have the skills necessary to get the problem solved? And can you - the audience - help them? | |||||
