Last Dance at Dum Dum

by Ayub Khan-Din

A new drama of Anglo-Asian affairs from the author of East is East.

Calcutta, 1981. Living amidst the peeling grandeur of a colonial house called Dum Dmm, the ancient denizens are all members of the Anglo-Indian community, a fiercely proud group for whom the imperial sun has never set. More British than the British despite their mixed race, they cling determindly to thier supposed superiority over the rest of the population. But outside the jasmine-covered walls of Dum Dum, the dark reality of hatred and bigotry is creeping closer and closer.
