Praise for UNVEILED
 

“Rohina Malik, the hugely talented writer-actress at the center of the Victory Gardens solo show “Unveiled,” is a remarkable new theatrical voice in Chicago. In her rich, upbeat and very enjoyable 70-minute collection of five character studies of Muslim women in modern-day America, Malik gives voice to characters from whom we hear far too little in the theater.”  
Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune.

A “terrific show… intellectually engrossing work of theater” 
— Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune
 
“Unveiled offers a provocative, insightful and uplifting theater experience.” 
Tom Witom, Pioneer Press
 
“Powerful solo show… five riveting tales of Muslim women” 
— Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader
 
“A compelling 70-minute piece rich with illuminating surprises, drawing the audience into worlds that are both unique and truly universal. It is terrifically entertaining. 
— Catey Sullivan, Chicago Examiner
 
“Rohina’s little masterpiece will further open our eyes” 
— Alan Bresloff, Steadstyle Chicago
 
“The stories are important, to be sure, but the cumulative effect is weighty.”  
Web Behrens, Chicago Free Press.
