“The Palace” by Bobby Zaman

Roundtables are informal gatherings where we sit around a table, read a play together, and then discuss it. Anyone can read. Scripts are provided – and there is no admission charge. All are welcome, whether you want to read out loud or follow along silently. Become familiar with the work of South Asian playwrights – and meet new people!

We meet in the backroom of the 5th Elementt, 1033 Bay St. (4 streets South of Bloor) at 7pm.

On Tuesday, January 23 we're reading – “The Palace” by Bobby Zaman

THE PALACE is a slice of 24hours in the life of a rundown Indian restaurant owned by Malik Hassan in a seedy part of Chicago . The play encompasses an ensemble of characters frequenting The Palace, focusing on the need to recognize who you are and the necessity of moving on.
