RUNNING TIME

When Kamal sends her ‘friend', known only as The Boy, to Pakistan to impress Dadi by pretending to be ‘the perfect girl,’ chaos quickly follows.

A heartfelt and playful exploration of family, relationships, and the roles we’re asked to perform.

A comedy-drama about Dadi, a sharp-tongued radio host and DJ who navigates love, marriage, and a lifetime of being an intergenerational trouble-maker with her granddaughter Kamal.

Through jokes, jingles, and relentless interrogations, Dadi begins to uncover what’s truly at stake: her relationship with Kamal, the secrecy that has grown between them, and the simple truth that perfection is impossible.

Blending theatrical storytelling with DJing, radio, and optional audience interaction.

This show is supported by Contact Theatre.
