9.1 A Fine Balance "Darkness on the Edge of Town"
Dramatisation of Rohinton Mistry's acclaimed novel about India's underclass. Two tailors - uncle and nephew, Ishvar and Om - come to the city to escape from the caste violence in their native village. They are employed by a Parsi woman, Dina Dalal who runs a sweatshop from her apartment and is struggling to preserve her independence. She has a lodger too, a reluctant student, Maneck, from the mountains. As their initial suspicion of each other turns to friendship and then love, their lives take dramatic and often shocking turns against a backdrop of India in crisis, during “the Emergency” of the mid-1970s, a period marked by huge political unrest and human rights violations. A comedy, a tragedy, a story of the triumph of the human spirit under inhuman conditions.

Customer Reviews
Excellent show
At first I thought, “nah, I can’t do the accent.” but boy was I wrong. This show is so good that the accent ends up adding to it. I loved imagining the Indian surroundings as I listened. Easily in my top 5. Bravo!
PS: thanks for continuing to crank out the content. I see you working hard out here
Love it!
I’m 2 seasons in and really enjoy this podcast. Good stories and interesting insight into the characters. Also great audio! It’s really easy to listen to
Delish
Just the right amount of roughness and grit. The story lines are fun and smart. The acting, voices, sound are like an audio film. Yah, keep going!
