Sisters Fatemeh and Shirin have been living together, in the same flat
in Edinburgh, for 43 years. In this flat they cook, they read their
coffee grains, they think about the fading memories of their childhood
in Tehran and they listen to the radio. Although they live side by
side, they never talk to one another. When a global pandemic hits and
the sisters are locked in their flat, they are forced to reckon with
their memories of a betrayal that changed the course of their
relationship.
Sister Radio is a vibrant yet nostalgic play reflecting on both
migration and family as well as being a celebration of culture from
two very different places.
Sister Radio is a co-production between Pitlochry Festival Theatre and
Stellar Quines.
