In episode 2, we speak to Azma Dar - a novelist and playwright, most known for her plays Chaos and Noor.

Azma Dar is a writer for the stage, screen, and radio. She has written several works performed at venues including the Soho Theatre, Birmingham Rep and the Edinburgh Festival, and on BBC Radio. Her debut novel The Secret Arts (2015), published by Dean Street Press, won the New Ventures Writing Award, and her play Vampire in Bradford won the New Perspective Long Play Competition. 

Her 2005 play Chaos, centered on a local councillor and his family, and how their lives and dreams are thrown into turmoil post 9/11.  Her 2022 play Noor, staged at the Southwark Playhouse, is about the real story of Noor Inayat Khan, an Indian-Muslim undercover wireless operator for the British during WWII.
