TARRAGON THEATRE PRESENTS THE SMASH HIT

A Brimful of Asha

A WHY NOT THEATRE PRODUCTION
WRITTEN BY AND STARRING MOTHER AND SON ASHA & RAVI JAIN

Tarragon Theatre proudly presents a return engagement of the smash hit A Brimful of Asha. A Why Not Theatre production, written and performed by real-life mother and son Asha and Ravi Jain and directed by Ravi Jain.

Asha and Ravi share the stage and tell the tale of how Ravi’s parents planned a surprise trip to India to intercept him on his vacation and arrange his marriage. Ravi resents the intrusion but, as far as his parents are concerned: it’s time for him to get a wife!
Nightly sold out shows and critical accolades greeted this laugh-out-loud (and very Canadian) true story:
“A Brimful of Asha proves to be a warm, fresh piece of theatre…. The irony is that we don’t really get a brimful of Asha Jain, just enough of a taste to want to hear more from her.” – The Globe and Mail

“Asha is simply wonderful as herself: a clever, subtle woman with an impish sense of humour and a smile that lights up the whole theatre…. Most of all, however, it’s a piece about family; the deep affection that the two of them have for each other shines through everything.” – Toronto Star

“Full to the brim with loving, personal admissions. It’s both a diatribe against and a tribute to mothers (and their complaining sons).” - NOW Magazine

A Brimful of Asha runs November 25 to December 16 in Tarragon Theatre’s Extra Space. Tickets range from $21-$53 and are available by calling the box office at 416.531.1827 or by visiting www.tarragontheatre.com.
