“I am so excited to be sharing Lotus Beauty with audiences soon. It is a play inspired by the resilient women and vibrant beauty salons of my hometown in Southall.”

Pooja Ghai, director of Lotus Beauty, said: “Lotus Beauty is both funny and poignant.  Satinder’s play shines a lens on the beauty and complexity of being a migrant and a South Asian woman in modern day Britain.  I am so excited to work with our wonderful cast, creative and technical teams to bring the story to life.”

Lotus Beauty invites us into Reita’s salon where clients can wax lyrical about their day’s tiny successes or have their struggles massaged, plucked or tweezed away.  But with honest truths and sharp-witted barbs high among the treatments on offer, will the power of community be enough to raise the spirits of everyone who passes through the salon doors?
