"The Rishta," is a story about a young South Asian woman, Samah, who has fallen in love with a Moroccan man, Hussain.

Convinced that her parents will not allow for an intercultural marriage, Samah devises a scheme to win her parents over with the help of an enterprising matchmaker but Samah doesn’t realize that her parents and brother are hiding secrets of their own…

"The Rishta" was developed in collaboration with Playwrights' Workshop Montréal and made possible thanks to support from Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des arts du Canada, Cole Foundation, Inspirit Foundation, Canadian Heritage, and Conseil des arts de Montréal.
