I Set in fifties India, VikramSeth's epic love story tells of Mrs Rupa Mehra 's attempts to find a "suitable" husband for her daughter. But as potential suitors are lined up for appraisal, there is always the "danger" (in her mother's view) that Lata, an English student at Brahmpur University, will fall in love with someone of her own choosing- and probably entirely unsuitable. Dramatised in five parts by John Dryden.
Other parts played by Farid Currim , Radhika da Cunha , Nadir Khan , Devika Shanane and SanjeevVatsa Director John Dryden Repeated Saturday 9pm
