Play Text Review
A hard-hitting story with complex characters that will allow students to workshop Stanislavskian/realism techniques. Published by Samuel French

Set in a clinic in Gujarat, Made in India is a tender and moving investigation into the moral and political issues surrounding surrogacy. Satinder Kaur Chohan presents the heartrending case of Eva, an English client, for whom surrogacy is a final bid to have a child of her own. However, Eva's desperation is matched by Aditi's, her chosen surrogate. For Aditi, this is the only way she can hope to lift her two existing daughters out of a lifetime of poverty. For Dr Gupta who owns the clinic, this is purely business and unfortunately Aditi's implantation is scheduled just hours after a surrogacy ban is introduced by the government. Ultimately the three women decide to break the law to save what matters most to them, a dangerous action that complicates this transaction and inextricably binds them together.
