A play about the dying breed of anglo-Indians living in Calcutta. Set in 1981, the play is a serious comedy about a vividly memorable gang of eccentrics and exotics who are attempting to come to terms with their pasts and their fears for the future. Their world is filled with Violet's hilarious obsession with all things British, Elliot's questionable dress sense, Daphne's weakness for French records and the confrontational outbursts of the slightly mad Muriel who would do anything to defend their territory against the Hindu fundamentalists looming just behind the garden wall.
