Tamasha & Belgrade Theatre to Present BLOOD, 11-13 June
Tamasha and Belgrade Theatre, Coventry present Blood, running 11-13 JUNE 2015, 7.45PM.
Blood is a searing and heartfelt new play from Tamasha, last seen at the Tron in Mayfesto 2014 with their acclaimed true-life tale of cross-cultural relationships My Name Is.
Caneze meets Sully in the college canteen. The heat rises over triple chilli sauce in Nando's. She makes her move in the sweet smoke of a shisha bar. A touchpaper is lit... but neither Caneze nor Sully bargain on the lengths to which Caneze's brother will go to keep them apart.
Set amongst a Midlands Pakistani community, Blood is sparky, funny and heart-wrenchingly honest portrayal of the courage of two working class young people as they fight to define themselves, their lives and loves, in the face of a wider and often hostile social context. Timely and contemporary, Blood cuts through political agendas and goes straight to the fiercely beating heart, beckoning us into a world governed by links to family and clan as much as individual wants and desires.
Speaking of the show, writer Emteaz Hussain said:
"After the 2011 riots, I felt frustrated over the myopic portrayal of working class young people. It was important to me to write a play which captured the complexity of their lives and the brave, sassy way they negotiate their identity in a wider context."
