The Wrong Bashir

Bashir Ladha, a young philosophy major leaning towards nihilism, reluctantly moves back home with his parents and is unwittingly chosen to serve in a prestigious religious position in his Ismaili community. When two council representatives arrive to meet their esteemed nominee, a hilarious mistaken-identity romp ensues, prompting the intergenerational family to question their own lifelong traditions.

Playwright and short-story writer Zahida Rahemtulla premiered THE WRONG BASHIR, her playwriting debut, in Vancouver to a sold-out run and critical acclaim in March 2023. She received an Honourable Mention in the Alice Munro Short Story Contest and was longlisted for the CBC Short Story Prize.

Directed by Paolo Santalucia (Prodigal), THE WRONG BASHIR is a laugh-out-loud farce that uses humour to explore the balance between personal freedom, familial expectations, and cultural traditions.

“The Wrong Bashir is one big wacky romp.” Vancouverplays
