No Word In Guyanese For Me (Women's Voices Theatre Festival)

A gay Muslim's journey to reconcile her faith and her sexuality.

 

Winner of the GLAAD Award, No Word in Guyanese for Me is a poetic, lyrical play, a beautiful exploration of religious and sexual identity. This is the journey of Hanna. From her childhood in Guyana to her adolescence in 9/11 New York City, from a disastrous arranged marriage to her sexual awakening, Hanna struggles to come to terms with her sexual identity, her devotion to her faith, and the right to be accepted for who she is, a gay Muslim.  Written by Wendy Graf, directed by Julia Hurley, starring Ashley K. Nicholas.
