Their souls are on fire because after all these lonely days, they finally found their own. Hema hasn’t indulged in sweet treats for years. She wants to be healthier and hopes the type 2 diabetes course she’s been attending will help. Everything seems on track. Then Liaquat shows up. Unapologetic and unafraid to break rules, Liaquat influences Hema to enjoy all the world has to offer and in return, Hema helps Liaquat get his health under control. As the unlikely pair grow closer, they face the aching pull of romance they’d long thought they had outgrown.

A snowwoman from Pakistan – full of songs, hopes, and dreams… As the final days of 1999 draw near, Pakistani migrants, Zoya and Iqra, work side by side in Woolworth’s Oxford Cowley branch – anxious and excited for what’s to come in the new millennium. At their Christmas staff party, the pair encounter a mysterious new girl – Faiza – who threatens to alter everything they thought they knew about their friendship and their future. Magical, tender and quietly radical, Before the Millennium is a lyrical new play from award-winning playwright, Karim Khan – charting the joys of a lifechanging friendship, the icy bitterness of homesickness and the sacrifice of migration. This edition was published to coincide with the production at Old Fire Station, Oxford, in December 2025.
