Amal Abdi is a West London-based writer for stage and screen, drawn to bold, genre-blending storytelling. Her work leans into the absurd to reveal deeper emotional and social truths.
Her first full-length play, Desperate Times (2023), produced by Side eYe Productions, had four sold-out London runs at venues including Rich Mix and the Pleasance Theatre, and went on a sold-out UK tour in 2024. Amal’s theatre debut came at 19, when her monologue ‘Hijabi Spiderman’ was selected for Bush Theatre’s Hijabi Monologues (2017).
