No Treats (staged reading) - Written and performed by Aisha Zaman (60min, Bus Stop Theatre)
“They experienced suffering and adversity and were so shaken in spirit that even the Prophet and the faithful who were with him cried, ‘When will God’s help come?’” (Al-Baqarah-214).
When 15-year-old Yasmin realizes that her “never-tell-anyone-especially-not-your-parents” secret is out, she begins a winner-take-all fight against herself for her right to live her seemingly ironic life by challenging the notion that there is no room for sexual diversity in Islam.
