Deen & Dunya is a poetry night that celebrates and elevates Muslim voices. Since its inception, it has enjoyed sell-out nights at Bush Theatre and Shakespeare’s Globe - headlining the Shakespeare & Race Festival. In August, Deen & Dunya sold out the Royal Court Theatre on two separate occasions.
Expect an evening punctuated with poetry, and soundtracked by a live DJ. Deen & Dunya is an authentically Muslim space that is sure to light a spark in your heart.
