Summary:

"It's 1970s Winnipeg--a time of revolution and radical possibilities--and an apartment building of Indian immigrant friends is about to be transformed by their latest arrival. A young Bengali Muslim woman, Nuzha, has just married Qasim over the phone at his mother's insistence, and can't wait to start her new life with him. But Qasim struggles to let go of his true love, a Canadian nurse named Abby, making him an emotionally and physically distant husband. Broken-hearted but full of pluck, Nuzha finds comfort and adventures on her own terms by exploring everything her new community has to offer. From braving the bus schedule to building close relationships with Qasim's friends, Nuzha's discoveries are thrilling, enriching, and crack open new possibilities for everyone. From the creator of the powerful solo show Crash, Pamela Sinha's New is an evocative, emotionally-astute comedy about the complex nature of love and sacrifice, joyful togetherness and piercing loneliness, and what it means to create entirely new ways of life through our willingness to tread uncharted territory."-- Provided by publisher.
