“You think it is pleasant watching a fat virgin become infertile? I want to be seen and noticed and invited by people. I want anything… that is not this.”

Past her prime, Min joyfully spends her life caring for her sick, foul-mouthed mother, Balbir. Today, for the first time in years, they’re off out.

Mother and daughter head to the local Sikh Temple, but when Balbir encounters old friends, a past trauma rears its ugly head. Min and Balbir’s illusions are about to be shattered as they become immersed in a world of desperate aspiration and dangerous deals.

In a community where public honour is paramount, is there any room for the truth?

Behzti was scheduled to open at The Door (Birmingham Rep) in December 2004 but was cancelled due to protests by some members of the local Sikh community.

Featuring Special Guest: Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti

### WHAT IS SOUTH ASIAN PLAY READING GROUP?

Each session we will be reading a different play written by a writer of South Asian heritage. These will be a combination of new plays that are at different stages of development in addition to older legacy texts that haven’t been seen for a while and everything else in between.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet and connect with other creatives in a friendly and welcoming artistic environment. Many previous participants have gone on to write their own work which has received successful R&Ds as well as commissions, citing how useful Tara Theatre’s play reading group has been as a part of their professional journeys.
