Afreena lives in Woodley, a little suburb nestled in between Hyde and Bredbury. Hyde is where Afreena goes to Banoful for her Bengali sweets, gets her eyebrows done, and pops to Asalamoalaikum Cafe when she gets a hankering for Fuchka and Chotpoti. Bredbury is where she goes to christenings at St Mark’s Church. Aside from the hotel currently housing asylum seekers, Bredbury is pretty white.

In Two Roads, Afreena invites the audience to help her navigate her life and her identities, and choose which route to take home tonight.
