Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti has written extensively for stage, screen and radio. Her first play Behsharam (Shameless) broke box office records at Soho Theatre and the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 2001. Her play Behzti (Dishonour) was sensationally closed in December 2004, after playing to packed houses at The
REP. In 2005, Behzti won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and in 2006, the play was translated into French and did sell-out tours in France and Belgium. Behzti was translated into Italian in 2012 and was performed in Bari, Italy. In 2010 her follow up to Behzti – Behud (Beyond Belief) was co-produced by Soho Theatre
and Coventry Belgrade and shortlisted for the John Whiting Award. Other credits include the British feature, Everywhere And Nowhere, DCI Stone (Radio 4), Londonee (Rich Mix), Dead Meat (Channel 4), An Enemy Of The People (BBC World Service) and Fourteen (Watford Palace Theatre).
