Two women wearing hijabs sit on a wall with skateboards.

Sisters 360

Turtle Key Arts

Two Muslim stepsisters tried to skate to victory in this family show from Bradford writer Asif Khan.

Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijabi stepsisters in all of Bradford, and they’ll win the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition – no doubt about it.

They’ve practised every trick in the book, and look (almost) as good as Sky Brown on the telly. Nothing will stop them. Except their parents have started whispering about living apart – and about only seeing each other in the school holidays. How will they perfect their routine and win gold if their lives are about to turn 360º? Only the greatest super plan will help them achieve their dreams…

Inspired by real-life skateboarding sisters Layna, Maysa and Amaya and their hero Sky Brown, this family-friendly production from Bradford writer Asif Khan is an inspirational story about family, friendship and the importance of following your dreams.
