Permission

Hanna is standing in the Heathrow immigration line with a head full of dreams. She has moved to London to become a suit-wearing-girl-boss, the epitome of feminist imagination. Or so she thinks.

In a one woman show performed by Anisa Butt and written by Hunia Chawla, we witness how Hanna's daily interactions with sexual politics and filial duty change shape in unexpected ways as she migrates to the 'West.' Hanna arrives as a liberated woman who is still entrenched in community values, she is Muslim AND liberated...until she receives a text message that changes everything.
