LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP INTERTWINED

Sajida and Noor have been best friends since they were little, but is their love romantic? Could it be, since their Islamic sect prohibits homosexuality? This new play looks at freedom, love, and belonging between two women from elementary school to adulthood.

“[The play] was inspired by my greatest childhood fear: that because I was not allowed to be myself, I would never grow up to be myself. And if I did, there would be consequences,” playwright Samah Meghjee says. “Illuminating unspoken circumstances is the first step on a path to a better future for us all. I hope that Maybe You Could Love Me can bring comfort to anyone who feels like they are hiding themselves, and I want people to know that there’s life beyond struggle.
