Chunkyz Shisha Lounge is home away from home for Jihad, Rashid and Asif, a place where young Muslim men gather to unwind, share jokes and navigate life together.

When aspiring journalist Jihad wins the chance to make his own documentary, he sees an opportunity to tell a different story about his community — one that challenges the stereotypes and fear-driven narratives that dominate the media. But how do you change the conversation when the system benefits from keeping it the same?

Olivier Award-nominated Blue Mist is a sharp, darkly funny and award-winning play exploring friendship, identity, ambition and the media narratives surrounding young Muslim men. Written by Mohamed-Zain Dada (Dizzy, Speed) and directed by Milli Bhatia (Speed, seven methods of killing kylie jenner).

Produced by Boundless Theatre, in association with Tamasha.

Originated at the Royal Court Theatre, London.
