Promotional artwork for Community. Features two young South Asian women. One is dressed quite casually, whereas the other is wearing makeup and holding several shopping bags.

Community

Friends Leyla and Zoya are polar opposites. Zoya is pampered, indulged and lacking purpose, and Leyla is hardworking, dependable and dedicates her time to helping others. Zoya has lived a privileged (spoilt!) life in a nice part of town, whereas Leyla lives on the other side of town with her housemate Khalil, a refugee from Syria.

When Zoya’s parents cut her off, she turns to old friend Leyla for help. Comedy ensues when Zoya is forced to start volunteering at the community centre and actually start thinking about others for once.

Things are going well until Zoya lets Leyla down at a talent contest at the community centre, just as her parents offer her the opportunity to go back home. Will Zoya bite their hand off or will she stay and fix things with Leyla?

Set in the heart of Birmingham, Community is a coming-of-age comedy drama exploring identity and belonging, and friendship.

A graduate of Rep Foundry and a proud Brummie, Farrah writes about relationships, identity and race through the lens of a woman of colour in today’s world.
