Anita And Me

King’s Theatre, Edinburgh, Tue-Sat

Meera Syal’s bestselling novel, which was adapted into a hit film, comes to the stage for the first time.

Shobna Gulati (Corrie’s Sunita Alahan) stars in the coming-of-age tale which follows Meena, a young girl growing up in the only Punjabi family in a ’70s mining village.

Meena’s life changes when the cool Anita enters her life and suddenly she’s caught between two very different cultures, in this funny, compassionate portrayal of village life in the ’70s.
