London
My Beautiful Laundrette on Tour
Based on Hanif Kureishi?s iconic and Oscar-nominated screenplay and last brought to the stage in 2019 directed by Nikolai Foster, My Beautiful Laundrette is set in London during the Thatcher years and tells the story of young British Pakistani, Omar, who transforms his Uncle?s run-down laundrette into a thriving business.
After being confronted by a fascist gang, Omar recognises school friend Johnny and uses their history to diffuse the situation. As they renovate the laundrette together, love blossoms between them.
This culture clash comedy is also a subversive work of social realism, sprinkled with magic and joy running through the rich veins of Kureishi?s writing. This bold production of Kureishi?s ground-breaking film, directed by Nicole Behan, explores cultural conflict, gender equality, class and generational strife, all presented against a funky backdrop of 80s music and culture with additional original music composed by the Pet Shop Boys? Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.
My Beautiful Laundrette by Hanif Kureishi is touring as part of our Theatre Nation Partnerships network.
