The P Word tickets
About The P Word
The Olivier Award-winning and critically acclaimed story of hope and romance returns for a strictly limited run, with Emmy-winner Tan France (Queer Eye) attached as Producer.
Hailed as “tremendous” (The Times) and “immensely moving” (Financial Times), the enduringly relevant story of a romance blossoming against all odds broke Box Office records in 2022, and now returns with its original cast and creative team.
'I’m not in your Britain. I’m in another Britain.'
Zafar flees homophobic persecution in Pakistan to seek asylum in the UK. Londoner Bilal (self-styled as ‘Billy’) is ground down by years of Grindr and the complexity of being a brown gay man. Their worlds are about to change forever.
Moving through casual hook-ups to the UK’s hostile environment, Waleed Akhtar’s sharp-witted and devastating play charts the parallel lives of two gay Pakistani men.
