A new play by Laura Marney about family, faith and the bonding power of biscuits. 

When Gloria staggers from her damaged car after a collision on a quiet country road, the last thing she's expecting is to have her prejudices shaken to the core. But that's what happens when she pulls a woman in a niqab from the wreckage of the other vehicle. As for Maryam, she hasn't got the energy to fight with a woman who takes one look at her and assumes she's oppressed. But the two women have more in common than they realise. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship - if only they could meet each other half way. 

Gloria...Julie Austin
Maryam...Shabana Bakhsh

Produced by Eilidh McCreadie.
