Peanut Butter and Blueberries

Hafsah and Bilal are not looking for love. She has her faith, her books, her dreams. Bilal…well he's just trying to get through uni. Studying in London, far from their hometowns of Bradford and Birmingham, they find common ground over a peanut butter and blueberry sandwich. Just as their connection is growing, the past and social realities become harder to ignore. Between opportunities, obligations and injustices, will they be able to choose each other?

In her debut play, author, poet and educator Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan explores how to love when the weight of the world is on your shoulders.

Peanut Butter and Blueberries is premiered at Kiln Theatre, London, in August 2024.
