Pink Milk Theatre

Two people meet on a park bench in Central London, and an unlikely friendship blooms. Ali is struggling with their traditional South Asian family’s lukewarm acceptance of their sexuality, sitting on a new development that could change things forever. Shanta is a beloved auntie full of energy, but the loss of her husband and an estranged daughter leaves her alone in a busy city full of life. As Ali and Shanta learn about each other, their experiences and striking chemistry heal old wounds and help them grow into the people they were afraid to become.

“Life’s too short to hold grudges and plant flags in the ground demanding tradition, all that matters is the connections we have and making sure we maintain them no matter what.”

Producers of critically acclaimed shows ‘A Splash of Milk’ and ‘Naughty’ across the UK, Pink Milk Theatre are thrilled to bring a new show to London audiences which celebrates intersectionality in the queer community
