WE have a pair of tickets up for grabs for Anita And Me at the King's Theatre, in Edinburgh, later this month.?By Meera Syal, dapted by Tanika Gupta, this much-loved novel bursts on to the stage.

This poignant coming-of-age tale follows Meena, a young girl growing up in the only Punjabi family in a 1970s Black Country mining village.

Meena spends her days happily getting into scrapes with the other local children until one day the impossibly cool Anita enters her life. Suddenly Meena knows exactly who she wants to be but is Anita all that she seems? Soon Meena’s world is turned upside down as she is caught between two very different cultures.

Anita And Me paints a comic, poignant, compassionate and colourful portrait of village life in the era of flares, power cuts and glam rock!

The story follows young Meena Kumar, a girl who would be considered very normal by today's standards, and the life she lives with her parents in Tollington, near Birmingham.

One seemingly ordinary day, her life is turned upside down by Anita Rutter, Meena is a brilliant character, with a wise head on young shoulders but one who retains a childlike exuberance.

An aspiring writer, Meena pines for some of the breaks that white children had; upon patronisingly being asked "what do you want to be when you grow up", Meena replies "blonde".

To win the tickets for the opening night of the show on Tuesday March 28 where does Meena stay and send your entry to the Times Office, 17 Bank Street, Lochgelly, KY5 9QQ by Monday March 20.
