About

Our White Skoda Octavia is a heartfelt story of family life told with truth, humour and tabla rhythm.

In a small town in the East of England, Amjad decides to take up taxi-driving. His days take on the rhythm of a drum. But when money is tight and Rabia’s stifled ambitions hang in the air, cracks begin to appear.

Written by Shamser Sinha and directed by Sameena Hussain, this moving new play shines a light on the struggles of contemporary life as one family juggles bills, dreams and taxi-driving schemes.

Inspired by conversations with residents in Peterborough and Ipswich (funded by Arts Council England).
