Description
Tanika Gupta’s critically acclaimed play, Fragile Land, is about what nationhood means for second-generation immigrants. The pressure to stick to their own kind proves a tough call for two teenage Asian schoolgirls in this fresh, engaging portrayal of a London very different from the one first encountered by their parents.
