Quote of the day: “This is a love story. Bilal and Hafsah are both practising Muslims. Islam is not the topic of the play but one of its contexts. It is ubiquitous, a texture, always present, therefore the characters should be played by Muslim actors. Since their ethnic identities are key to their connection, the actors should also be specifically Pakistani/Kashmiri.” (Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan’s ‘Writer’s Note’ to her Peanut Butter & Blueberries)
