acclaimed novel

important and challenging piece of theatre"

adaptation is breathtaking"

"A welcome

compassionate, hard-hitting play"
Sunday Times
India, 1975, and a callous government has declared a State
of Emergency.
In these uncertain times, Dina Dalal - a spirited
widow determined to avoid a second marriage - takes a student
boarder and two tailors into her ramshackle flat.
Yet as the Emergency's forbidding policies
bring chaos to the city, the four strangers - whose lives
have become inextricably linked - find themselves crossing
divides of caste and religion to form the most unexpected
of friendships.
Through arresting visual imagery, an evocative
score and an ensemble of eight actors (including Sudha Bhuchar
as Dina Dalal), A Fine Balance vividly captures
an astonishing moment in India's history with a tender story
of exceptional human spirit.
Tamasha is one of the UK's leading touring companies. Best
known for its groundbreaking productions like East
is East, Balti Kings
and Fourteen Songs, Two Weddings and a Funeral,
Tamasha has played a key role in driving the crossover of
Asian culture into the British mainstream.
