Unveiled Reviews
"...Directed by Ann Filmer on a marvelous set by Timothy Spencer, this wonderful little show is truly worth the trip to the 16th Street Theater in Berwyn. Each segment of the story is special and the delivery of Rohina is in itself an experience to remember."
Read More“A compelling 70-minute piece rich with illuminating surprises, drawing the audience into worlds that are both unique and truly universal. It is terrifically entertaining... Unveiled isn’t groundbreaking in its insistence that racism and xenophobia are evils borne of fear and willful, narrow-minded anger. But the very ordinariness of Unveiled gives it power: Bigotry is all around us, every day. You can find it at weddings, in classrooms and cafes. Seeing it in all its banality is the first step toward combating it. Unveiled will help open eyes. But of equal importance for a stage production, it is terrifically entertaining. Rohina has created vivid characters in wholly compelling situations. If the piece provides a bit of enlightenment while wrapping its audiences in masterful storytelling, so much the better."

Instead, she takes time to draw us in with beguiling stories of Islamic marriage rituals and immigrant family life...Powerful solo show... five riveting tales of Muslim women."

Read More"Rohina Malik, the hugely talented writer-actress... is a remarkable new theatrical voice in Chicago. In her rich, upbeat and very enjoyable 70-minute collection of five character studies of Muslim women in modern-day America, Malik gives voice to characters from whom we hear far too little in the theater."
