Glamrou: Drag Mother
Author(s):
Amrou Al-Kadhi
Based on the key character of their award-winning memoir, Life As A Unicorn (Harper Collins), Drag Mother finally explores the relationship with their Muslim mother on stage.
When Amrou confronted their mother about why she hated them being a drag queen so much, she said: “it’s awful being a woman. I am so jealous that you were born a man… and you’ve wasted it dressing like a woman. I would kill to have the freedom that you have.”
This show explores the pressures of Muslim womanhood and how it interacts with the freedom, femininity and complexities of a Muslim drag queen.
