Kiln Theatre presents
PEANUT BUTTER & BLUEBERRIES
by Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan
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.

During the run of Peanut Butter & Blueberries, there will be prayer space available on the Kiln Theatre premises for our audiences to use. The show is expected to end before 8.30pm throughout the run and we will facilitate audience members, who need to pray the sunset prayer, in doing so immediately after the show. Please speak with a member of staff and they will happily direct you to the space. Additionally, there are two mosques at a short distance from the theatre: the Kilburn Islamic Centre (292-294 Kilburn High Rd) just across the street (400 feet) and the Kilburn & Hampstead Masjid (239 Kilburn High Rd) a 1-minute walk away.
