Bush Theatre
★★★★ “A funny, heartfelt and brutally honest love letter to platonic friendship” (London Theatre)
Don’t miss the “impressive, intelligent, touching” production (Telegraph) from Olivier Award winner Waleed Akhtar, playing until 26 October only.
Best friends Zaid and Neelam swore they’d always be together. But life is turning out differently from what they expected. Zaid’s life has stalled – only half out of the closet but still chasing his dreams. Neelam’s has taken a completely different path than either of them ever expected.
A story of growing up, growing apart and falling short, this “intimate and expansive” new play is “theatrical magic” (BroadwayWorld). It “cements Waleed Akhtar’s standing as a fearless writer with oodles of talent and bravura” (The Guardian).
As Neelam and Zaid, Nathaniel Curtis (It’s A Sin) and Mariam Haque (Black Mirror) deliver “two beautifully detailed performances” (WhatsOnStage) in this “engrossing, enjoyable play for our times” (The Arts Desk)
