One hen night. Three generations. A secret that won’t stay locked away.
It’s the night before Rumi’s wedding, and her wedding squad is ready to celebrate. The music’s loud, the samosas are hot, everyone’s dancing, but Grandma isn’t entirely sure what year it is.
Somewhere between the songs, the dancing and the surprises, a door in Grandma’s memory has unlocked an incident she thought she’d buried fifty years ago.
Henna Party is a funny and tender new British South Asian play with songs, drawn from a disturbing chapter in 1970s Britain’s treatment of migrant South Asian women.
Blending garba, giddha, wedding songs and pop anthems, this is a house full of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh lionesses, singing too loudly, remembering too much and dancing exactly as they please.
Presented in English, with some Gujarati, Punjabi and Swahili.
