This all-female play reveals a largely untold deeply human story set in a country once regarded as the world’s ‘surrogacy hub.’

Written by new British Asian playwright Satinder Chohan, Made In India is produced by Tamasha, Britain’s foremost touring theatre company.

The company’s new plays have been credited with playing a key role in driving the crossover of Asian culture into the British mainstream, most notably with East is East.

Made In India visits The Dukes from March 2-4 and there’s a post show talkback on March 3. Age guidance is 14+ and tickets are priced £13/£11 concessions.
