Over the past 22 years, Khayaal has developed a strong reputation as the first dedicated producer of professional English language theatre inspired by Muslim world culture and heritage. Khayaal is forging a new genre and brand of cross-cultural theatre whose formula of wisdom and humour has won it popular and critical acclaim nationally and internationally.

Aims:

To celebrate and contribute the rich aesthetic, artistic and literary traditions of the Muslim world to mainstream popular culture.
To promote inter-cultural dialogue, engagement and understanding by demonstrating reconciliation between East and West, the traditional and the modern, and Muslims and people of other faiths and traditions.
To develop new audiences for the performing arts within Muslim communities and new audiences for Muslim literature, art and culture in wider society.
To assist in developing cultural capital and currency for Muslim communities that will facilitate greater and more inclusive socio-cultural stakeholding and integration and challenge Islamophobia and extremism.
