Harrogate Theatre & Tamasha Theatre looking for extras for World Premiere co-production
 
 
Tamasha Theatre Company & Harrogate Theatre are looking for at least four actresses to act as extras in the upcoming World Premiere production of The House of Bilquis Bibi which the two organisations are co-producing. The extras will be needed for the Harrogate Theatre performances in September.

This will be a unique opportunity to be part of this exciting show which features renowned Bollywood actress and singer Ila Arun and Indira Joshi who is best known as the mother from The Kumars at No 42.
 
The House of Bilquis Bibi is a passionate interpretation of Federico García Lorca's 1936 masterpiece, The House of Bernarda Alba. Relocated to Pakistan’s fertile Punjab region, it tells a personal yet subtly political story of small town lives with global ties. The extras will be a crucial part of the mourning scene in the opening part of the play where the family is mourning the death of Bilquis Bibi’s husband and the father to her five daughters. Extras will be present in the first twenty minutes of the show.
 
Tamasha Theatre are celebrating their 21^st Anniversary in 2010 and are regarded as one of the country’s most exciting theatre company’s. Best known for developing East Is East in 1996, which became a smash-hit film, they visited Harrogate Theatre last year with their Bollywood version of the Bronte classic Wuthering Heights.
