The Diary of a Hounslow Girl is told through the eyes of a 16-year-old British Muslim teenager growing up in West London.

From traditional Pakistani weddings to fights on the night bus this is a funny, bold, provocative play highlighting the challenges of being brought up as a young woman from a traditional Muslim family alongside the temptations and influences growing up in London.

First, there was Bridget Jones’s Diary, then Legally Blonde, but now there is The Diary of a Hounslow Girl geared up to take on the world.

A comic story of dreams, aspirations and coming of age.

You’ve heard of an Essex Girl or even a Chelsea Girl but what is a Hounslow Girl? The term has become a byword for confident, young Muslim women who are grappling with traditional values, city life and fashion.
