Based in East London, Abir Mohammad (he/him) is a Drama and Comedy-Drama Writer that writes about the experiences surrounding the queer, brown, Muslim and working class communities within this area.

His writing places unconventional characters at the forefront of stories whilst shining a light on topics that are either taboo or underrepresented, such as toxic and positive masculinity, queerness within religion, and more, whilst being able to simultaneously tell truthful stories in a light-hearted and hard-hitting tone. His pilot script Chosen Family was nominated for an All3Media New Drama Script Award in 2022, whilst the short play version of Bhaijaan was positively received as “a difficult play to watch” that provoked “the evening’s strongest emotional response” when performed at scratch nights.

With his professional experience in development and casting, on top of a desire for writing stories that come from an honest place, he has a well-rounded knowledge of the film, theatre and television industries, and an ability to portray unique and specific stories with a universal appeal.
