Man 1 has dug a hole. He likes his hole. Man 2 does not have a hole, but he certainly knows about holes, and he knows this one is not quite right, technically speaking at least. But what neither can deny is there is something very special about this hole, mystical almost.

Trouble brews when their growing friendship is interrupted by Woman 1, envy and jealousy abounds, as each character stakes their claim over the hole, with potentially murderous consequences.

### 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.
