A Fine Balance

adapted by Sudha Bhuchar and Kristine Landon-Smith from the novel by Rohinton Mistry

India 1975, and a callous government has declared a State of Emergency.

In these uncertain times, Dina Dalal – a spirited Parsi widow determined to avoid a second marriage – takes a student boarder and two Hindu tailors into her ramshackle flat.

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, class and religion to form the most unexpected of friendships.
