Yasmin’s career is finally taking off. After years of fighting for visibility in the theater, the British-Pakistani actress lands the eponymous role of Mrs. Bibi—the ultimate aunty-ji—in a hit primetime sitcom. Her newfound success means a steady paycheck, the possibility of owning her own home, and a carefree fling with a charming young assistant director.

But when her estranged sister arrives with news of their mother, Yasmin's hard-won stability is shaken to its core. Forced to reckon with her ambitions, her family’s needs, and her place in an industry that both elevates and exploits her identity, Yasmin’s world tilts in unexpected ways.

From laugh-out-loud sitcom banter to powerful personal reckonings, Mrs. Bibi by Waleed Akhtar is a surprising, bold, and poignant audio drama that reveals the complexities of navigating personal success while balancing family and identity.

Directed by Tessa Walker with sound design by Tim Kim and Holly Khan and original music by Niraj Chag.

Playwright Waleed Akhtar was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, he received funding and creative support to develop Mrs. Bibi.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

It was too short...it would be nice to hear a sequel, but a lovely little drama. it makes you think about the cast and crew behind the TV shows and "ethnic comedies". Is it representation or exploitation, or something in-between? The actor who played Mrs Bibi did a brave thing in walking away...
