**** (4 stars) "Bombay Black focuses on the complex and conflicting relationship between an angry old woman (the versatile Deena Aziz) and her daughter Apsara (Anita Majumdar), a beautiful exotic dancer. When Apsara's client Kamal (Sanjay Talwar) unearths secrets from the family's past, the two characters take on an unexpected depth and darkness. This sudden and seamless tonal shift establishes one of Bombay Black's many graceful contrasts. Playwright Anosh Irani carefully navigates between convincing casual conversation and rich lyricism...a precarious balance between beautiful mythology and ugly realism, between hope and despair. "

NNNN – "Anosh Irani's sultry, spooky and surreal tale of thwarted love and bittersweet revenge. Anita Majumdar plays Apsara with emotional and physical force. Opposite Sanjay Talwar's gentle, dreamy Kamal, their relationship beautifully captures the optimism of love against all odds. Director Brian Quirt tackles the story with a strong sense of scene composition, anchoring Irani's text with strong, often disturbing images. "

"...lovely theatre, well-designed, nicely staged, intriguingly acted and promisingly written... a masterful blend of eroticism and mystery."
— TORONTO STAR

 "The play unfolds partly as a love story, partly as a study in the oldest of all dramatic subjects, the ethics of revenge.  Pungent and lyrical and sometimes witty. Line by line, Irani never hits a false note."
