Description
Ayesha's life as director of a Muslim funeral parlour seems secure, but everything changes when Tom arrives to organise his boyfriend's funeral. A sudden moral decision, guided by her community and faith, sets off a chain of events that forces Ayesha to confront a secret she has kept hidden even from herself. As she navigates this crisis, Iman Qureshi explores the complexities of sexuality, gender, and religion in twenty-first-century Britain. The result is an incisive and heartfelt story that challenges assumptions and sparks important conversations. This powerful play premiered at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2018, winning the Papatango New Writing Prize.
