"Anosh Irani has crafted a story as black and seductive as a desert
night." --The Globe and Mail-- "Globe and Mail"
"Intrigue, betrayal, love and seduction. This month's most riveting
watch on Mumbai's theatre circuit is Bombay Black." --Elle
Magazine-- "Elle Magazine"
"Sensuous, lyrical, mysterious, sordid, grotesque, romantic and
highly emblematic." --The Globe and Mail-- "Globe and Mail"
"At once poetic and theatrical, The Bombay Plays pulse with grit,
humour and despair. Anosh Irani makes an astonishing debut with
these two plays. His voice is fierce, funny and wholly original."
--Governor General's Literary Award jury citation
