Playwright Rohina Malik presents her one woman show Unveiled on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 through New Jersey’s Premiere Stages. Ms. Malik has performed the show at numerous theaters around the United States. Premiere Stages approached Ms. Malik about performing her show via livestream. So, while quarantining and in collaboration with her sister, Ms. Malik filmed a version of the play for this online program. She hopes to continue sharing her powerful stories with theatre patrons in times of social distancing.
Rohina Malik is a critically acclaimed, award winning Chicago playwright, actress and solo performance artist. She was born and raised in London, England, of South Asian heritage. She is no stranger to Premier Stages because her play Yasmina’s Necklace was produced and presented on their stage last fall. Her two plays The Mecca Tales and Yasmina’s Necklace were both nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Play. Ms. Malik is a Resident Playwright Emeritus at Chicago Dramatists and an Artistic Associate at Voyage Theater Company in NYC. Ms. Malik was selected to receive the 2018 Lee Reynolds Award, given annually to a woman active in any aspect of theater whose work has helped to illuminate the possibilities for social, cultural, or political change.
