Publisher Description:

Whilst on holiday in India and avoiding his mother's pleas to marry, British-born Asian Nils falls in love with Raj, who lives in a house of Hijras (eunuchs). A plan is hatched to smuggle Raj as Nils' wife back to Wembley, and it takes all the resources of Guru Hijra's supernatural support to avoid disaster thereafter. Bombay and Wembley collide in this comedy drama which explores community, sexuality and identity.
Hijra was performed at The West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, in February 2002.
