Meera Syal’s much-loved novel bursts onto the stage for the very first time.

Presented by Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company in association with Theatre Royal Stratford East.

Meera Syal’s much-loved novel bursts onto the stage for the very first time.

This poignant coming-of-age tale follows Meena, the irreverent teenage daughter of the only Punjabi family in the mining village of Tollington.

When she becomes friends with the impossibly feisty Anita, she thinks she’s found her soul mate but her world is turned upside down and she finds herself caught between her two cultures.

Adapted from the much-loved novel by the award-winning playwright, Tanika Gupta and with specially composed music by the Ringham brothers, Anita And Me paints a colourful portrait of village life in 1970s West Midlands during the era of flares, power cuts and glam rock.

An In Conversation event with With Meera Syal and Tanika Gupta will take place on 10 October. Click here to book tickets and for more information.
