Asif Khan's debut play is a fabulously comic take on the combustion surrounding young British Muslim lives. Bradford, in the month of Ramadan. Shaz, a local garage mechanic, is trying to keep his business going despite the terrible scandal of Asian men involved in grooming young girls for sex in the area. White extremists plan to march through the city in protest and Samina, Shaz's sister wants to make a speech at a counter-demonstration. Shaz just wants a quiet life so that his prospective in-laws will let him marry their beautiful daughter, but as the city gets swept up in the protest, his world gets turned upside down.

A brave, important and necessary play... If I were running the National, I'd pick up this play pronto to ensure it's amplified further." -The Telegraph ? "????
