Newly re-imagined and re-written for this Theatre Passe Muraille production, Letters to my Grandma is a haunting one-woman show that delves into how the hatred bred between Hindus and Muslims in the old world consumes families in Canada today. 
On the day of her wedding, Malobee unearths letters detailing her grandmother’s fight to survive the 1947 partition of India, which resonates with Malobee’s own struggles to create a new life in present-day Toronto.
A grand multi-generational tale of hatred, regret, love and forgiveness.

“[Roy] has an impeccable sense of character, and her bilingual text gives the story extra authenticity.. Roy finds a delicate balance between honest moments of horror, with dashes of humour even in the darkest moments.” – Toronto Star
