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.
