A sister is both a curse and a blessing... In the Cheema’s kitchen, it’s Ladies’ Sangeet Night. Dal is sweating over the samosas, Mum and Masi ji fuss over the bride to be, and Simi flirts with her brother-in-law, who’s busy eyeing up the guests... Fast-paced, funny and moving, Behna (Sisters) looks through the keyhole of a family home to reveal the secrets and lies of two generations. As the celebrations peak, truth, jealousy and history unfold and the sisters struggle to deal with more than pathooray and pakora. This site-specific production will take place in the real kitchen of a city centre home (to be revealed at a later date) creating a unique, intimate and lively piece of theatre.Company Kali Theatre.
