We're in Bradford. It's been a few months since Jabala's beloved Mum
died. Dad is a brilliant father, but it's an effort to get to school on
time every day.
One morning, when she says goodbye to her house as usual, Jabala hears a
voice replying to her in Arabic. But no one's there. Could it be Mum?
Has she imagined it?
With the help of a 'Refugee Boy' at school, a Shakespeare enthusiast
called Munir, she summons... a Jinn. But this is no ordinary 'Jinn', as
told in grandma's stories and Jabala is in for a surprise.
As the day of Eid approaches, events take a drastic turn and Jabala is
forced to make some difficult decisions. Will things come together in
time for the big celebration?
Combining physical theatre,
original music and vivid design, this new play by award-winning writer
Asif
Khan is a funny and endearing story for the whole family.
