Headscarf and the Angry Bitch returns to DC for a limited 4-night late show run at DCAC! More information and tickets available at Landless Theatre.
Join ZED HEADSCARF, 'The Muslim Weird Al,' on a folk-rock mock exploration of faith, love, sex and what it means to grow up Muslim in America. This beef ain't halal!
Written and performed by Zehra Fazal, responsible for the critical hit My Friend Hitler at the 2007 Capital Fringe Festival and at the 2008 Indianapolis and San Francisco Fringes.
HEADSCARF AND THE ANGRY BITCH premiered at the Capital Fringe Festival in 2009, winning the Best Solo-Performer Pick of Fringe Award, and the DC Theatre Scene Audience Favorite for Solo Performance.
"The future of American-Islamic relations could hinge on this one-woman show."
- City Paper
"...sharp, entertaining, and polished. Once Fazal’s clarion voice bursts out from behind her hijab, you cannot take your eyes off her - she’s charismatic and possesses a spastic, almost frantic energy that is endearing and painfully hilarious all at the same time."
-DC Theatre Scene (5 Stars, Pick of Fringe)
"... [Fazal’s] carefully developed stage persona, nuanced performance, and impeccable timing make Headscarf one of this year’s must-see shows."
- Decider DC
"I stood throughout (no seats left) and was delighted to do so — right through the standing ovation."
