Phizzical Productions has released the trailer for Shahid Iqbal Khan’s Olivier Award-nominated play 10 Nights, which will open at Riverside Studios on Wednesday 8 January 2025, ahead of a UK tour. Sâmir Bhamra directs Adeel Ali in this heartfelt and humorous one-man play exploring themes of faith, community, and self-discovery.
10 Nights opens at Riverside Studios Hammersmith (8 – 26 January) before touring to Derby Theatre (27 – 28 January), The Lowry Manchester (30 January – 1 February),
Lawrence Batley Theatre (4 – 5 February) and Birmingham Hippodrome (6 – 8 February).
When Yasser decides to take part in itikaf—spending the last ten nights of Ramadan in quiet reflection at a mosque—he encounters unexpected challenges. Between navigating communal spaces, the quirks of his fellow worshippers, and cravings for chunky chips, Yasser’s journey becomes one of reckoning with hidden truths about himself and his relationships.
This gentle and powerful story blends humour and poignancy, offering a touching portrayal of a young man trying to reconcile his faith, personal struggles, and aspirations. At its heart, the play is a coming-of-age story about fractured friendships and a community striving to live with dignity, hope, and unity. Tickets are now available at https://www.phizzical.com/show/10-nights/.
