Run, Rebel
On the track is the only time Amber feels completely free. Running takes her far away from her claustrophobic home life where her father wants her to be a dutiful daughter, waiting for an arranged marriage like her sister Ruby.
Running is a quiet rebellion. But Amber wants to live and love on her own terms - and she's ready to fight for it.
It's time for a revolution.

RUN THE WORLD
Run The World was first commissioned byThe Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 2018. I worked with a group of amazing women from Ashianna Community Project in Sparkbrook. Together we walked, jogged and ran around a park for six months every Monday morning after which we talked and drank lots of tea. After 6 months the women created a beautiful, insightful and important piece of audio theatre. You can listen to the audio walk they created here:
A DANGEROUS WOMAN
Toured nationally 2017-2018
A Dangerous Woman tells the story of one woman’s struggle to carve her own path in a family of six women. Women who are both allies and enemies. Based on Manjeet’s own experience this bold and unapologetic new play explores what happens when you dare to challenge conformity, and make your voice heard. Recently labeled as a dangerous woman, Manjeet Mann explores what it means to be strong and dangerous.
Following a successful UK tour of her debut show Flying Solo, A Dangerous Woman was developed with support from the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Soho
Theatre Young Company, Arcola Theatre and Quarterhouse Theatre. It was directed by Jerwood Directors Award recipient Yael Shavit.

FLYING SOLO
Toured nationally 2015-2017
A heart-warming and extraordinary tale of one woman running towards her goals and away from her memories.
Today is Marathon Day.
Join Amber as she races against the clock, herself, and a man with a fridge on his back.
But the past is slippery, and no matter how fast you run - your memories are always lying in wait, ready to trip you up.
This heart-warming, heart-rending, extraordinary one-woman show from writer-performer Manjeet Mann asks the question of how easy it really is to leave home.
An urgent and exhilarating story about family, survival, guilt and self-delusion. FLYING SOLO features a ferociously honest script and a dynamic urgent performance.
