Three generations of a working-class Muslim family clash in Ambreen Razia’s meditation on the complexities of motherhood
This lean multi-generational family drama explores ways of mothering, and the emotional punch, when it comes, is well worth the wait even if there are a few bumps along the way.
Three generations of British Asian women make up the working-class family in Ambreen Razia’s play: a prodigal daughter, of sorts, in Aleena (Avita Jay), who returns home after a two-year stint behind bars to her doting daughter, Leila (Ashna Rabheru), and a quietly judgmental mother, Noor (Renu Brindle).
At Bush theatre, London until 6 August.
