Characters in fancy dress in a scene from the play What Fatima Did... presented by Tara Theatre Young Company 2026
It’s 2009 and British Muslims are having a hell of a decade. Iraq. 9/11. Afghanistan. 7/7. The ‘Credit Crunch’. And now Jack Straw wants to ban the burkha.
When the students of Green Park Comprehensive return for their last year of Sixth Form College something has changed. Life of the party Fatima Merchant is wearing a hijab.
As speculation around her choice reaches fever pitch, friendships at Green Park Comp are stretched to their limits. Can they resolve their differences before university beckons? Does what you do matter as much as why? And is anyone even really listening?
What Fatima Did… is a pacy and punchy drama set in London exploring identity, belonging, and the true meaning of British values. Funny and provocative, this revival features new material devised in collaboration with the Tara Theatre Young Company.
