Working closely with Bangladeshi diaspora communities in London, Tara Theatre’s Artistic Director Abdul Shayek has devised an unforgettable piece of intergenerational theatre that looks at what the 50th anniversary means to the diaspora.
With female voices firmly at the heart of this production, Dawaat will subvert expectations, challenge mindsets and delight your ears, eyes and taste buds.
