Gothenburg English Studio Theatre presents
The Scandinavian 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.
Reviews for The P Word at GEST:
“Sensitive direction and truly excellent acting.”
“It is funny and moving while, almost incidentally, one learns more about the situation of those seeking asylum due to their sexuality”
“The P Word becomes a call for compassion!”
Göteborgs-Posten
“With a keen eye, director Gary Whitaker has distilled Waleed Akhtar's 2022 play to its very essence, keeping its precision intact every step of the way.”
“Harry Singh... is superb as the graceful Billy...Raj Khera delivers his portrayal with a straight back and a tender, contained performance.”
“In The P Word, the audience is seated almost in the actors' laps—or in their bed. This creates an extra intimacy and intensity for an already intense and deeply moving play.”
