Strictly Dandia

Strictly Dandia Synopsis

Tamasha Theatre's stunning new play

Strictly Dandia, Tamasha Theatre Company's new play, takes us into the competitive world of the Navratri Festival where regional and caste rivalries abound in a bid to outdo each other with smart moves and step variations.

An affectionate satirical tribute to British Gujaratis adapting their Hindu dance festivities to London street culture. A disco-dandia competition brings the Hindu Juliet and Muslim Romeo together in spit of their communities' disapproval.

"All heart and humour, irresistibly charming and shamelessly enjoyable... a treat" Sunday Times [on Fourteen Songs, Two Weddings and a Funeral]

Published to tie in with the premiere at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith in January 2004, prior to a nation-wide tour.
