A story of two Australian Afgani Muslim women and the tension
within a family over the wearing of the headscarf. A young
Australian-born Muslim woman, turns to the religion of her heritage
for answers after the September 11 attacks in 2001, resulting in a
deep experience of faith and a controversial decision to wear the
hijab. Partly a plea for understanding, partly a bellow of rage
from Muslim Australian women about the ignorance and
misunderstanding that surrounds the wearing of the traditional
Muslim headscarf, Shafana and Aunt Sarrinah is based on personal
interviews with Muslim women from a diversity of Muslim cultures.
The play addresses theatrical and social questions about
representation, religious freedom and inter-generational conflict.
