In the chaos of border crossing between India and the newly formed Pakistan in 1947, a small Hindu boy, Pali, suddenly finds himself lost and alone. Taken into a Muslim family he is given a new name, and a new faith - Islam. In his changed world, he learns to find love and forge friendships in the most unexpected of places. Seven years later when fate reunites him with his Hindu roots he must decide if he is the boy he was born, the boy he has been brought up to be, or simply a Child of the Divide.

Tamasha presents a vibrant production that infuses Sudha Bhuchar's new play with a vital emotional charge. Child of the Divide tells a powerful tale of faith, family, friendship and belonging that will speak to any young person who wants to be accepted just as they are.
