by Azan Ahmed
Days after his father's passing, Yusuf discovers a dusty mixtape that changes everything he knew about a man who barely spoke.

Yusuf's mourning becomes a journey into the past, sound tracked by Omar's thumping beats and his father's bars, as he begins to uncover secrets that turn his world upside-down.
Witty, honest and deeply moving, Azan Ahmed's playĀ StatuesĀ is a lyrical love letter to the original code-switchers, exploring the impact of loss, and what you can gain from it. It premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, with a cast featuring the playwright himself.
