7.15pm - 8:45pm: Complimentary tickets for Peanut Butter & Blueberries opening performance

A funny, moving and sharply observed love story, Peanut Butter & Blueberries follows two Muslim students whose unexpected connection begins over a peanut butter and blueberry sandwich. Following a sold-out world premiere at London's Kiln Theatre, this acclaimed new play now comes to the Yorkshire stage.

Location: Leeds Playhouse, Playhouse Square, Quarry Hill, Leeds, LS2 7UP

We're delighted to invite YABA/NPH members to a special partnership event with Leeds Playhouse, celebrating outstanding South Asian talent in UK theatre and marking the opening night of Peanut Butter & Blueberries.

Hosted by Leeds Playhouse Chief Executive Shawab Iqbal, the evening will feature a range of speakers, including Leeds local playwright Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan and Halifax–based director Sameena Hussain, the creative team behind Peanut Butter & Blueberries, which comes to Leeds following a sold-out run at London's Kiln Theatre.

Hear from the creative team, learn more about Leeds Playhouse's investment in South Asian talent and explore opportunities for collaboration between the cultural and business communities.

The evening includes complimentary tickets for all attendees to see the opening performance of Peanut Butter & Blueberries at 7.15pm.

A brilliant opportunity to celebrate South Asian success, champion Yorkshire creatives and connect with one of the UK's leading theatres bringing inspirational stories to the stage.
