    “ I'm so impressed with the layering of these characters, and the huge stakes both are facing. FATIME & MAAMA is set up so beautifully, and so quickly, as it's a ten-minute, and Wyndham does an excellent job also showing the love/hate relationships between mothers and their teens. ”

    “ The depth of the love between Fatima and her Maama is palpable in this lovely short play. The roles would be a dream come true for two young Arab-American actresses -- Fatima and Maama are complex, funny, and exuberant. ”

    “ Lovely. Mothers and daughters around the globe will recognize themselves in this touching, heartwrenching short. Fatima bursts with vibrance and youth, and Maama has her back as only a mother can. It's a snapshot of a family, with its hardships and heartaches, but one gets the sense that these women will not only persist, but thrive together. Even as they drive one another up a wall. Should be performed everywhere. ”

    “ The play has a culture clash and a generational clash in which the outcome is anything but ordinary. What could have been a stereotypical mother-daughter argument segues into the truth of their love - even when it's not convenient. This is a compassionate play that is welcome on all stages: adult play festivals, college theatres and high school festivals. It is a play that encourages you to throw out preconceived notions and empathize. ”
