Hatefuck

by Rehana Lew Mirza

A local Michigan literary professor seeks out a famous Muslim-American novelist to find out if he's a self-hating Islamophobe or a really good lay. But they find that getting under each other's skin can easily become a habit, for better or worse.

  • Caro Asercion: Hatefuck by Rehana Lew Mirza
    “

    I had the opportunity to see a reading of this show in New York at Colt Coeur/WP and it’s been on my mind ever since! Mirza writes really fun and evocative arcs for the actors to grapple with each scene, but blends these arcs into a thoughtfully-intertwined narrative. Come for the compelling chemistry between the two leads trying to dig under each others’ skin, stay for the astute commentary on contemporary Muslim-American issues: “Hatefuck” is a strong two-hander that both entertains and enlightens its audience.
