SUMMARY:An Evening with Author Tawseef Khan
DESCRIPTION:Jamila’s life feels hectic and out of control. Then a breakdown of sorts forces her to seek change!\n\n\nAs we celebrate South Asian History Month\, join us at Oldham Library with author Tawseef Khan as we dive into his new book Determination. Jamila Shah is twenty-nine and exhausted. An immigration solicitor tasked with running the precious family law firm\, Jamila is prone to being woken in the middle of the night by frantic phone calls from clients on the cusp of deportation. Working under the shadow of the government’s ‘hostile environment’\, she constantly prays and hopes that their ‘determinations’ will result in her clients being allowed to stay. \nWith no time for friends\, family or even herself (never mind a needy partner)\, Jamila’s life feels hectic and out of control. Then a breakdown of sorts forces her to seek change – to pursue her own happiness while navigating the endless expectations that the world seems to have of her\, and still committing herself to a career devoted to helping others. \nBio:TAWSEEF KHAN is a qualified immigration solicitor and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Liverpool\, where he examined the fairness of the British asylum system. He is also a graduate of the creative writing programme at the University of East Anglia\, where he received the Seth Donaldson Memorial Bursary. His fiction has appeared in Lighthouse and Test Signal: a Northern anthology; his non-fiction in the New York Times\, The Face and Hyphen. His debut non-fiction book Muslim\, Actually was published by Atlantic in 2021. He lives in Manchester. \nRefreshments will be provided.

Fancy a chat?  \n\n\n\nFeel free to stay afterwards and socialise – but there’s no pressure to do this\, and the club will officially end after an hour of reading.

SUMMARY:Live@TheLibrary: "Book Club" and "Legacy"
DESCRIPTION:Eyeline Theatre bring two amazing shorts presented by professional actors and directors. \n\n\n\n\nBook Club. by Philip Stiles. \nMaddie and George are newbies in a suburban avenue in Manchester. They join a local book club in order to get to know their neighbours. It’s their turn to host. The evening hobbles along a tad awkwardly when a stranger knocks at the door only to turn everything on its head. Think Madame Arcati meets Abigail’s Party! \nLegacy. by Patricia Cunningham. \nThat old chestnut – family feuds. Mattie\, visually-impaired\, is adamant that he will have nothing to do with his son Dominic who he believes has sold something very precious to him\, a gift passed down from his father and now to Dominic. Dominic\, a student\, strives to make contact. Mattie’s wife and Dominic’s mother\, Cathy\, is sandwiched in the middle and tries to act as go-between. Things inevitably come to a head. Will peace and harmony return or is this the end of the father-son relationship? \nEyeline Theatre and Productions\, a Community Interest Company works with experienced professionals and new and emerging actors and writers. We include mentoring and dramaturgy. \nOur monthly writers’ script R &D workshops are very popular and productive for both writers and actors who read the material. \nDuring production rehearsals\, we open up a short window to the public for one hour to those with an interest in the art of performance. \nWe are dedicated to the creative arts and strive to bring artists together to network in a relaxed and enjoyable medium. \n\nTickets bookable in the link below.
