Shahid Iqbal Khan

Guardian review of Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti’s Choir begins with a summary of Behzti and the violent protests that followed. Many reviews do this. It’s an odd habit. Important no doubt. But it’s not always relevant. It happened 20 years ago. She’s written a lot of plays since then.

I didn’t grow up dreaming of doing a one man show.
I grew up dreaming of surviving.
But somehow, between immigrant parents, and figuring out I was gay I found a voice. That voice helped looped me write and now I’m taking it to Edinburgh Fringe.

So, you’ve got an idea but what makes it a play? Is your story theatrical enough for the stage? And what does, ‘theatricality’ really mean anyway? I’m not claiming to have the answers to those questions, but I never get tired of exploring them. Come along!

The Green Party’s current predicament isn’t to do with leadership. It’s more the case that the Green Party does not have a fawning media. Meanwhile, Reform has The Telegraph and GB News, which promote their policies unquestioningly. It may be worth studying the Lib Dems and their media strategy.

Being an author is like "here's a piece of my soul. Please rate it one to five."

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Bearly Politics (@i_ratus ). The tweet reads: “‘Yes, you’re wearing a suit, BUT DID YOU EVEN SAY THANK YOU?!’” Below the tweet, there is an image of three individuals in a formal setting, with two of them seated on ornate yellow chairs and gesturing with their hands. A penguin is standing on one of the chairs, dressed in a small suit. The background includes a fireplace, a flag, and other decorative elements, suggesting a formal or official room.

We have a winner!

It’s a shame that films don’t have slapstick anymore. Bring it back.

Congratulations Vivek! 🥳

My first full length play is coming to London this November. Come along if you can and I'll see you there! 😊

Movies that take place at roughly the same time

Instead of an Indian man, the stage adaptation of Hindi film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge features a white man in the lead. Fair enough, maybe the story has been rewritten and has different casting requirements. But, I don't know, British South Asian men can be hot too you know? Give them a chance.

Oh I loved Is God Is so much!

#theatre dear UK theatre pals: on Feb 21 at 1 PM, join us @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social for reading of my new play KORA K. A ghost story about the self and the space between truth and fiction. Or the story of a translator. tix: orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/kor...

Really looking forward to hearing the whole of my play JINNITY from the start to the end this Saturday. I'm so blessed. ❤️😭

I was reading about Peter Shaffer's play Black Comedy. For various reasons, the first performance ended up being the opening night. Yet to Peter's surprise, the cast hit it out of the park. Sometimes the pressure can be beneficial in ways you wouldn't expect, it forces everyone to pull together.
