Sweetmeets, part of Bolton Octagon’s First Bites series of rehearsed readings of new plays, comes to the venue’s studio this Friday.
It’s a new play by Karim Khan developed with early development support from Rifco Theatre Company.
Azmat and Hema meet in a diabetes prevention workshop and develop an unlikely friendship, which asks: are we ever too old to change?
It’s directed by Kash Arshad, who was behind the Octagon’s production of An Adventure, and is an opportunity to see plays that may well become full productions, like recent comedy Habibti Driver which was first seen as part as part of the series back in 2019.
