LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP INTERTWINED

How many sleepovers and shared hijab pins does it take to make you best friends? For Sajida and Noor, the number was forgotten years ago. However, as high school graduation looms, they must decide if their love for each other is the key to becoming who they were meant to be, or if it will cause everything to unravel. Playwright Samah Meghjee’s painfully funny romance takes you back and forth in time and looks at bravery, belonging, and the paths we choose.

“[The play] was inspired by my greatest childhood fear: that because I was not allowed to be myself, I would never grow up to be myself. And if I did, there would be consequences,” Samah Meghjee. “Illuminating unspoken circumstances is the first step on a path to a better future for us all. I hope that Maybe You Could Love Me can bring comfort to anyone who feels like they are hiding themselves, and I want people to know that there’s life beyond struggle.
