The Boy With Two Hearts
A true story of family, love and the lengths we will go to for the people who matter most. From Afghanistan to the UK, it is a story about hope, second chances and a promise between brothers that continues to shape my life today.

The Other Boy – Out Now
My childhood story, retold for a new generation. A story about feeling different, finding your place and discovering how friendship and kindness can change the direction of a life.

At its heart, The Other Boy is about something many of us experience: the search to belong.

The Boy With Two Hearts was adapted for the stage, premiering at Wales Millennium Centre before transferring to the National Theatre in London and later reaching international audiences.

The production continues to reach audiences today through National Theatre at Home and the National Theatre Collection, bringing our family’s story into homes, schools and classrooms around the world.
