First premiered at the world renowned Citizens Theatre, this celebrated Guardian column of ?overheard conversations reveal hilarious and at times heartbreaking glimpses of modern life. These tiny plays in which every one of us could have a starring role, bring together a portrait of a country both enriched and plagued with culture clashes. Running time: 1hr 15mins (no interval)
