"I
hope Shafana and Aunt
Sarrinah will
surprise audiences with its portrait of Afghani
Muslim women, who are articulate, highly educated,
deeply spiritual and enraged by the way Australian
and global media paint them as oppressed, meek and
silent. To be part of a project where Buzo's theme
and concerns might be reignited through a new
work...is genuinely exciting. In effect, it allows
the 'conversation' to move into a third dimension:
not just Buzo speaking anew to the 21st Century,
but Buzo reflected and responded to through the
voice of a contemporary playwright. It's a vision
of Australian theatre as a historical continuum."
