Brown Boys Swim Summary

Brown Boys Swim by Karim Khan

We think we'll be alright - because we wade through air, not water, but that's not enough. Best friends Mohsen and Kash are gearing up for the biggest night of their lives - Jess Denver's pool party. There's just one problem... they can't swim. Fueled by halal Haribo and chicken wings, the pair throw themselves in at the deep end, tackling cramped cubicles and cold showers as they learn how to be at one with the water. Fierce, funny, and brimming with heart, Karim Khan examines the pressures faced by young Muslim men in this exhilarating new play about fitting in and striking out. This was published to coincide with the production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in August 2022.
