Saheeda came to England as a young woman but returns home with her teenage daughter, Nasreen.

Standing outside the airport in the middle of a monsoon, neither mother or daughter realise that their visit will become much more than a holiday.

As Saheeda unravels her past, mother and daughter discover the importance of their shared heritage.

This production, by Sheffield Theatres, is inspired by original stories told by Muslim women and aims to identify universal truths and experiences which can be shared by all.

Sheffield Theatres is based at The Crucible and is considered to be one of the most influential theatres in the country because the high quality of its productions has won it some major national awards.
