A feel-good love story.
When handsome, successful, mummy’s-boy Rajesh is sent on a visit to India, he encounters Naresh in a steamy Mumbai nightclub. Naresh is an awkward yet endearing craftsman - and definitely not the wife Rajesh’s mother hoped he’d find.
Bend it like Beckham meets It's a Sin in this Queer, heart-on-its-sleeve romcom - set just after India's landmark decriminalisation of homosexuality in 2018.
The Stage ★★★★ "funny and charmingly performed, with some big heart-swilling emotional moments"
Coming to London straight off a run at Summerhall in this year's Edinburgh Fringe. (Just kidding, we're not 'straight' off anything.) Rajesh and Naresh was written from workshops conducted with members of the Queer South Asian community in London and abroad.
Voice Mag ★★★★★ “Rajesh and Naresh is a must-watch show [...] that entertains and tugs at the heartstrings”

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
