RCA Theatre Company, The Arts and Culture Centre and This Might Be Satire Productions Presents: Tamasha-O-Tamasha
Tamasha-O-Tamasha is a political satire focused on the struggles of the everyday person under the thumb of unsympathetic leaders, told through eccentric humour and absurd situations. A new work aimed at redefining and reengaging in political theatre for today, the narrative of this piece is formed through new translations of the short plays of much lauded playwright, the late Gursharan Singh Bhaji, with a brand new connective story by playwright, director, and principal adapter Azal Dosanjh. It is a tale we are all familiar with. It is a story we know. Tamasha-O-Tamasha follows a Fool’s journey. As this Fool leaves their home to travel a whole wide world, they begin to understand this is not the world they had hoped for. This time, the fool is a far-off villager wanting to make a change. Next time, it might be you.
