The London Bridge attacks had happened that week it was polarising, and I was about to stand on this stage, wearing a hijab, feeling awkward.
It also felt responsibility because of my visibility, and I remember sitting in Regent's Park thinking 'write something that isn't an apology'.
Out of her 'dabbling' with short scripts came Manzoor-Khan's debut play Peanut Butter and Blueberries which has its premiere at Kiln Theatre.
I have never seen two Muslim characters who like being Muslim. Islam is often portrayed as this hindrance to having a great life; 'I can't wait to run away and take off my hijab.'
