Martin Morrow, Globe & Mail Review on ‘The Wrong Bashir’
“ the most touching performance comes from Salim Rahemtulla as Dadabapa, the Alzheimer’s-stricken grandfather…Dementia is a tricky thing to treat as comedy, but a subtle Rahemtulla succeeds with the help of some sensitive writing”
Vancouver Plays, Theatre Review on ‘90 Days’
“the Western Gold production vividly conveys the anxieties and terrors of forced migration generally and the specific torments suffered by the playwright’s own family.”
My Autobiography:
Namirembe Road
In this beautifully written memoir Salim Rahemtulla weaves together the threads of his past, painting a vivid picture of his formative years spent on Namirembe Road in Kampala. He writes about his years as a student and a security guard in the UK; his reunion with his parents and siblings in Canada; his life as a husband, father, computer scientist, and hotel owner; and his travels to India and Uganda to rediscover his roots.
