Review: THE REAL ONES, Bush Theatre

At once intimate and expansive, The Real Ones follows the friendship of Zaid and Neelam from age nineteen to thirty-six.

Waleed Akhtar (Olivier winner for The P Word) pens a sharply observed look into whether platonic love can last.

Review: SELF-RAISING, Soho Theatre

'Self-Raising begins with a sack of flour. But it’s not just a sack of flour.
