Lucky Tonight!

An interactive pub quiz-cum-theatre show written and performed by Afreena Islam-Wright and directed by Julia Samuels.

For questions like this and more, at Lucky Tonight! quizmaster extraordinaire (and former contestant of The Chase!) Afreena will put you through your paces to help her tell her story.

From the streets of Old Trafford to the coast of Chittagong, Afreena shares what it really means to be ‘British’ and ‘Bangladeshi’, whilst not really fitting in to either of them…
