“A terrific show ... intellectually engrossing work of theatre” - Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune

"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 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

“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

“The stories are important, to be sure, but the cumulative effect is weighty.” — Web Behrens, Chicago Free Press
