A Fine Balance | 2015

1975. An unnamed city by the sea. The Indian government has just declared a State of Emergency .

Four strangers – a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station and two tailors who have fled the caste violence of their native village are thrust together. Forced to share one cramped apartment. From distrust to friendship and from friendship to love, A Fine Balance creates an enduring panorama of the human spirit in an inhuman state.

A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry is one of India’s best-known work of fiction; a sweeping saga that captures all the cruelty and corruption, dignity and heroism, of India. Prayas presented this epic novel live on stage for its tenth anniversary.

 

Directed by Ahi Karunaharan and Amit Ohdedar
