Meet Ashraf and his 'Habibti' - his daughter Shazia. He's an
Egyptian, Muslim taxi driver; she's half-Egyptian, half-Wiganese,
and more interested in the last call at the bar than the call to
prayer. Their relationship is put to the test when Ashraf
introduces Shazia to his new Egyptian bride, whilst she is
attempting to break the news of her own secret engagement. In
Ashraf's taxi they must navigate driving lessons, sing karaoke and
explore whether, despite their differences, family can win out
regardless. Habibti Driver is a heartwarming and hilarious play,
based on Shamia Chalabi's real-life experiences and co-written with
Sarah Henley, exploring the clashes, compromises and comedy that
come with living in a mixed-culture family in today's Britain.
First performed in an earlier version - Burkas and Bacon Butties -
at the VAULT Festival, London, this revised, full-length version
premiered at the Octagon Theatre Bolton in April 2022, co-produced
with Tara Finney Productions.

This anthology comprises five of the best plays from VAULT 2018,
London's biggest and most exciting arts festival. Young men are
dying and everyone assumes they're just casualties of London's
chemsex scene. Everyone, that is, but Anthony, who is determined to
investigate. Tumulus by Christopher Adams is a chilling, queer
play-noir set amongst the shadowy hills of Hampstead Heath.
Critically acclaimed during its run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe,
Lucy Burke's Glitter Punch - set in Greater Manchester - charts a
troubling new relationship between mysterious John and
sixteen-year-old Molly, a love that will change their lives
forever. `Powerful' (The Stage). Set in a Wigan taxi, Burkas and
Bacon Butties by Shamia Chalabi and Sarah Henley is a heart-warming
comedy abouttaxi-driver Ashraf and his twenty-something daughter,
Shaz, as they negotiate the ups and downs of living in a
mixed-culture family. When bereaved mother Mary finds a disembodied
arm, a conspiracy builds: maybe her child isn't quite so dead after
all. Shortlisted for Soho Theatre's Tony Craze Award, Sami
Ibrahim's Wind Bit Bitter, Bit Bit Bit Her is an enthralling
monologue about love and loss. The Strongbox by Stephanie Jacob is
a story of domestic servitude and abuse of power, as authoritarian
Kat, her ageing mother, Ma, and their teenaged slave, Maudie,
jostle for power - and affection - in their dilapidated London
home.
