Borderline

Written in 1981, Borderline is concerned with a group of Pakistanis trying to make a home for themselves in London. Amina, who is at the heart of the story, has to contend with her traditional parents, her liberal friends and her indecisive boyfriend. Together with other characters -Ravi, who just arrived from India, Anil, his 'long-lost friend' and Susan, an English journalist- Hanif Kureishi has created a finely-crafted, humorous and powerful play.
