"a powerful piece of theatre... Ambreen Razia's performance is astonishing." BritishTheatre.com"Razia proves to be as talented a writer as she is a performer. This is a sophisticated, moving and often very funny piece of writing, particularly nuanced in its depiction of Shaheeda's relationship with her mother. A smart, astute, and funny play about the life a British-Pakistani teenager." The Stage"Ambreen Razia is cutting, mocking and empathetic by turns." Theatre Bubble"This simultaneously amusing and poignant show reminds us that behind every seemingly surly and irascible teenager is a person just as human as we are.""A fresh and hilarious play written and performed by such a talented lady that I did not just enjoy the play, I was completely and utterly impressed by it."
