The Chosen Haram will be presented in Sheffield on May 12, 2023.

The production will be performed on two Chinese Poles and tells the tale of two gay men who meet on a dating app and the barriers – social, cultural and personal – that they must overcome.It's emotionally candid, heart-warming with moments of humour and set to a banging soundtrack.

Haram is an Arabic term meaning forbidden.

Winner of The Summerhall Lustram Award at Edinburgh Fringe last year, The Chosen Haram will be presented at the University of Sheffield drama studio on May 12, 2023.
