Out of Sorts - by Danusia Samal (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

International Playwriting Award - 2018

Zara has spent her adult life being two different people. The good Muslim daughter, all set to marry the man her family approves of - and a free-spirited British millennial, who parties as hard as she works.

Over one dramatic weekend, the lies she's been telling to keep these two worlds apart begin to unravel and she is forced to confront her real identity.

Review Quotes

"A deeply tender drama about belonging... Danusia Samal's script gathers complexity and emotion as the piece progresses. It is a play about race and belonging, and a coming-of-age story of friendship and betrayal, of an eating disorder and, most movingly, of the love between mothers and daughters." --Guardian
