麻豆约拍

By Harvey Virdi.

Rauf and Malkeet share an unlikely friendship. A tender story about two British Asian elders who have more in common than they care to admit. For comically bombastic Malkeet and romantic Rauf, retirement has turned out very differently from expectations, so they spend their days passing time in the local park.

Inspired by interviews and research, Harvey Virdi's play explores the taboo subject of Asian elders neglected by their children. It was originally commissioned and performed as Meri Christmas, a stage play for Rifco Arts.
