About this ebook
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.
A protest march through the city is planned and Samina, Shaz’s sister wants to make a speech at a counter-demonstration for Peace.
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.
Asif Khan’s debut play is a fabulously comic take on the combustion surrounding young British Muslim lives.
