Inside Voices (NHB Modern Plays)

Inside Voices, a play by Nabilah Said, blends dark comedy and magic realism in its subversive portrayal of three Singaporean Muslim women challenging the bounds of freedom, feminism and faith in a place that isn't home. It was first performed as part of the 2019 VAULT Festival, London. Also available in the collection Plays from VAULT 4.
