Peanut Butter & Blueberries
(Autor) Suhaiymah Manzoor-KhanHafsah and Bilal aren't looking for love. Hafsah has her faith, her books, her dreams. Bilal'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. But just as their connection is growing, the world around them becomes harder to ignore. As competing opportunities, obligations and injustices get in the way, will they be able to choose each other? Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan's play Peanut Butter & Blueberries is a tender and bittersweet love story that explores how to love when the weight of the world is on your shoulders. It was first performed at Kiln Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Sameena Hussain.
