You've heard of an Essex Girl or even a Chelsea Girl, but what about a Hounslow Girl?
Definition of a Hounslow Girl: a young Muslim woman who wears hooped earrings with her headscarf and grapples with traditional values while hustling her way through urban London.
The Diary of a Hounslow Girl is a bold and provocative one-person play, written and performed by Ambreen Razia.
From the joys of traditional Pakistani weddings to fights on the night bus, this is a comic story of dreams, aspirations and coming of age, told through the eyes of a 16-year-old British Muslim girl.
Discover the challenges of being a teenage girl in a traditional Muslim family alongside the temptations and influences of growing up in London. Directed by Sophie Moniram, the live stage production of The Diary of a Hounslow Girl was commissioned by Ovalhouse Theatre and toured the United Kingdom with Black Theatre Live.
