The Diary of a Hounslow Girl by Ambreen Razia

* You've heard of an Essex Girl or even a Chelsea Girl but what is a Hounslow Girl? The term has become a byword for confident, young Muslim women who are grappling with traditional values, city life and fashion. * Monologue/one-woman play: a strong role for female performers, and perfect (fresh, dynamic, new) content for auditions, and showcases... especially good for those looking for comic material. * Ambreen Razia Best Newcomer 2016 Asian Media Awards

"a powerful piece of theatre.. Ambreen Razia's performance is astonishing." BritishTheatre.com "Razia proves to be as talented a writer as she is a performer. This is a sophisticated, moving and often very funny piece of writing, particularly nuanced in its depiction of Shaheeda's relationship with her mother. A smart, astute, and funny play about the life a British-Pakistani teenager." The Stage "Ambreen Razia is cutting, mocking and empathetic by turns." Theatre Bubble "This simultaneously amusing and poignant show reminds us that behind every seemingly surly and irascible teenager is a person just as human as we are." "A fresh and hilarious play written and performed by such a talented lady that I did not just enjoy the play, I was completely and utterly impressed by it." Everything Theatre
