Sweetmeats

Two South Asian elders meet each other in a Type 2 diabetes workshop but find themselves navigating the sparks of a new forbidden love.

Their souls are on fire because after all these lonely days, they finally found their own.

Hema hasn’t indulged in sweet treats for years. She wants to be healthier and hopes the Type 2 diabetes course she’s been attending will help.

Everything seems on track. Then Liaquat shows up. Unapologetic and unafraid to break rules, Liaquat influences Hema to enjoy all the world has to offer and, in return, Hema helps Liaquat get his health under control. As the unlikely pair grow closer, they face the aching pull of romance they’d long thought they had outgrown.

This edition was published to coincide with the world-premiere of the Bush Theatre and Tara Theatre co-production in February 2026.
