PEANUT BUTTER BLUEBERRIES

About the show

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? Building on the sell-out success of its 2024 world premiere in London, playwright, poet, educator and former Leeds Playhouse Writer-in-Residence Suhaiymah Manzoor Khan’s Peanut Butter & Blueberries invites us to explore how to love when the weight of the world is on your shoulders. There will be prayer spaces available for audiences to use in addition to our multifaith reflection space. These spaces will be available for use both pre and post-show. Please speak with a member of our front of house team and they will happily guide you towards them. During the run of Peanut Butter & Blueberries the Terrace Bar on Level 1 (located next to Box Office) will be a dedicated non-alcoholic bar. A Leeds Playhouse production of Peanut Butter & Blueberries originally commissioned by and performed at Kiln Theatre, July and August 2024.
