“Sweetmeats is tender, thoughtful and very touching” “beautifully sculpted piece of writing” / “Khan’s writing is comedic and charming’
Co-production between Bush Theatre and Tara Theatre.
Hema hasn’t indulged in sweet treats for years. She wants to be healthier and hopes the type 2 diabetes course she’s been attending will help. Everything seems on track. Then Liaquat shows up.
Unapologetic and unafraid to break rules, Liaquat influences Hema to enjoy all the world has to offer and in return, Hema helps Liaquat get his health under control. As the unlikely pair grow closer, they face the aching pull of romance they’d long thought they had outgrown.
An intimate love story between two South Asian elders, this charming world-premiere will pull at your heartstrings. Written by Karim Khan and directed by Tara Theatre Artistic Director Natasha Kathi-Chandra.
