When Kamal sends her ‘friend’, known only as The Boy, to her radio show to impress Dadi, by pretending to be the ‘perfect girl’, chaos quickly follows. Through jokes, jingles, and relentless interrogations, Dadi begins to uncover what’s truly at stake: her relationship with Kamal, the secrecy that has grown between them, and the simple truth that perfection is impossible. Blending theatrical storytelling with DJing, radio, and audience interaction, this is a heartfelt and playful exploration of family, relationships, and the roles we’re asked to perform.The show previously played to a sold-out audience at Camden People's TheatreCreditsWritten, produced and performed by Amina Aaliya BegDirected by Afreena Islam-WrightDramaturgy by Afshan D’Souza LodhiKamal played by Tanisha BangarThe Boy played by James BakerStage Design by James Baker https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/b6615c60-3409-11f1-97fe-0520c8f1a874-rimg-w592-h740-dc728a80-gmir.jpg BiographyAmina Aaliya Beg is a multidisciplinary artist working across theatre, performance and DJing.
