GOTHENBURG ENGLISH STUDIO THEATRE 

presents the Swedish premiere of

The P Word

by Waleed Akhtar

A Bollywood rom-com, a nail-biting thriller, and a heartwarming comedy – all in one!

 

“I’m not in your Britain. I’m in another Britain.”

 

Zafar flees homophobic persecution in Pakistan to seek asylum in Britain. Billy, a gay British-Pakistani man from London, is weighed down by the complexities of being a brown gay man. In Soho, at 2 a.m., parallel worlds collide – and Zafar’s and Billy’s lives are about to change forever, all set to the beat of your favourite Bollywood soundtrack.

 

★★★★ “Irresistible. Bewitches with hope, romance and heart.” Guardian
