What Fatima Did by Atiha Sen Gupta

Fatima Merchant is feisty and strong-willed. At 17, she drinks, smokes and parties. On the eve of her 18th birthday, without word or warning or explanation, she adopts the hijab. Suddenly, to her friends and family she is no longer the Fatima they thought they knew.

What Fatima Did… is a funny and provocative exploration of attitudes to identity, freedom and multiculturalism in contemporary London.

Featuring Special Guest Host: Tara Theatre Artistic Director Natasha Kathi-Chandra

WHAT IS SOUTH ASIAN PLAY READING GROUP?

Each session we will be reading a different play written by a writer of South Asian heritage. These will be a combination of new plays that are at different stages of development in addition to older legacy texts that haven’t been seen for a while and everything else in between.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet and connect with other creatives in a friendly and welcoming artistic environment. Many previous participants have gone on to write their own work which has received successful development as well as commissions, citing how useful Tara Theatre’s play reading group has been as a part of their professional journeys.
