Sameena Zehra- Work In Progress
Advertisement
I’m playing with the seed of a new thought. There will be some raging at love songs (honestly, wtf is that noise) which may wreck the (frankly, delusional) nostalgia of first-romance mixtapes. Or make you wonder if, this whole time, patriarchy, and love, and toxic positivity have just been a salt soaked paper cut in your fricking eye. Look, it’s in progress, exploratory, unfinished. Might be dark. MIght be hilarious. Might be codswallop. Probably all three. Come find out. Or don't; I'm not here to force people into having fun.
Here's things people have said about other shows I have made...don't take them too seriously, it's just individuals, with individual opinions. You might have different ones (but you'll have to come to the show to find out)
‘Astonishing, and frequently violent... ’ The Independent, UK (I particularly like this one)
‘Outstanding...a master storyteller’ Rip It Up, Adelaide
'Funny, fiery, brave and true.’ Herald, Scotland
‘Humour in every strand’
‘Left wanting the next chapter’ The Latest, Brighton
‘...an intimate atmosphere with all the warmth, energy and enthusiasm of a full house at the Apollo’
‘Fluency, intensity and vivacity... ’The Age, Melbourne
‘...combines warmth with political passion.’ Scotsgay
‘... smart and sharp... a breath of fresh air... ’ Nicholas Holm, The Post, NZ
‘ ... the wittiest and sassiest lady I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Move over Kitty Flanagan.’ Buzzcut, Perth
(Honestly, this one's a bit over the top- Kitty Flanagan is amazing and absolutely not moving over for anyone)
CONTENT NOTES
This show is accessible to Blind or Low Vision folks without audio description.
No loud noises or flashing lights. I will occasionally raise my voice, but will avoid shouting.
Adult content and coarse language. This is work in progress, so I may be sailing close to the wind in terms of pushing boundaries. You are encouraged to practice self care by stepping away if needed, and returning if and when desired, being mindful of the rest of the audience who are still in the room.
Some direct chat with the audience- however, if you avert your eyes or shake your head, I will not speak directly to you.
Queer friendly.
