Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti Plays 2 by Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti

"Writing is dangerous, it is provocative. It is sometimes necessary for audiences to feel uncomfortable and to feel provoked. Otherwise nothing changes.” (Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti in The Guardian)

Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti is one of Britain’s most fearless and provocative playwrights. Her work confronts issues of faith, identity, family, class, and violence with emotional depth, biting humour, and unflinching honesty. This essential collection brings together a selection of Bhatti’s most powerful plays, offering a vital portrait of contemporary British society.

Elephant: “The play’s fury lends it persuasive force” (The Times)

A Kind of People: “This is the Royal Court at its best, giving us an uncompromisingly honest account of multicultural modern Britain.” (The Guardian)

Scenes from Lost Mothers: “A powerful play that explores the experiences of mothers and pregnant women in prison.” (Clean Break)

Marriage Material: “Raucously funny and often moving family saga… this is a pleasure to watch.” (Standard)

Choir: "A fantastic, laugh-out-loud night out." (Theatre and Tonic)

Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti writes for stage, screen and radio. Her first play Behsharam broke box office records at Soho/Birmingham Rep.
