Contests: PYAASA

Don’t miss your chance to see the celebratory remount of Theatre Passe Muraille’s SOLD-OUT 2008 Dora Award-winning Hit PYAASA by Anusree Roy, with the original creative team, in the TPM Backspace March 3-27, 2016, presented as part of TPM’s 50th Anniversary Celebration Play Series. Win a pair of tickets to any performance of PYAASA from March 3rd to 6th.

“Life isn’t easy, Chaya… but you have to believe in it.” Set in Calcutta, PYAASA (meaning “thirsty” in Hindi) tells the story of Chaya, an eleven-year-old untouchable who dreams of nothing more than learning her times table. When Chaya’s mother begs a woman from a higher caste to give Chaya a job at a local tea stall, Chaya’s journey from childhood to adulthood begins and ends over ten days.
