Maimuna will shortly appear in GRAPES OF WRATH at the National Theatre, and will also perform her own original music for the piece.
She was recently seen with Bella Ramsey and Jodie Whittaker in Series 2 of BBC's TIME, and plays series regular Vedita in the BBC modern day supernatural drama DOMINO DAY, BBC Three's most successful drama launch in three years.
She has also played roles in BAFTA nominated SHERWOOD and ITV’s UNFORGOTTEN.
The breakout star of London’s multi-Olivier winning STANDING AT THE SKY’S EDGE for which she received an Olivier nomination for Best Supporting Actress, Maimuna's previous stage credits include NINE LESSON AND CAROLS (Almeida), THE BAND PLAYS ON (Sheffield), and the show stealing Mary Magdalene in Timothy Sheaders JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR to name a few.
An engaging, versatile and multi-talented actor, writer and musician, Maimuna won the Stage Debut Fringe Award for her one woman show MANIC STREET CREATURE at The Edinburgh Festival before it transferred to London, winning 5* reviews across the board. Manic Street Creature has since been commissioned for a pilot with Carnival Films.
Having written the music for Carrie Cracknell's PORTIA at London's Almeida Theatre, Maimuna continues her relationship with Carrie by writing the music for the forthcoming GRAPES OF WRATH at The National Theatre.
Previously Maimuna has written music and lyrics for NINE LESSONS AND CAROLS AT the Almeida Theatre and WELCOME TO IRAN for the National Theatre which was then adapted for BBC Radio .
Additionally Maimuna is also in development for her television show ‘Third Culture Kid’ which explores what it means to be a mixed race Muslim woman in modern day Britain.
