Join Nalini Theatre for an exclusive live sharing of Growing Pains by Fathima Abdullah followed by a series of acting activities, games and workshops.

This event will be held in the Rotunda at Beckton Globe Library - 1st floor.

About the Play

Growing Pains follows 17-year-old Khadija as she navigates the hilarious and often awkward transition to university. Caught between her East London roots and a new, predominantly white university campus, she finds unexpected freedoms and friendships while grappling with the profound weight of cultural expectations, faith, and the fear of letting loved ones down. This relatable comedy deeply explores her journey as she finds herself genuinely caught between two worlds.

We have created a fun packed session of games, competitions and workshops drawing on themes and characters within the play. You'll have the option to explore characters or themes from the play with a chance to win a £20 JD voucher.
