Forced to choose between her identity, her family, and her precious faith, there’s no word to describe Hanna Jokhoe in her native Guyanese dialect. Ovation award-winning “Best Actress” Anna Khaja stars in Wendy Graf’s newest play about a gay, Muslim immigrant who must reconcile her faith with her sexuality. “A protean performance” – Los Angeles Times
Written by award-winning playwright Wendy Graf (Behind the Gates) and directed by Anita Khanzadian, No Word in Guyanese for Me stars Ovation award-winning ‘Best Actress’ Anna Khaja in a “protean performance” (Los Angeles Times) as a young, gay immigrant from Guyana who must reconcile her sexuality with the teachings of her Muslim faith.
The Los Angeles Times calls No Word in Guyanese for Me “heartfelt and moving,” while EDGE Los Angeles writes, ““Run to see [it]… A riveting theater experience… Brava!” Back Stage gives No Word a “Critic’s Pick.” The LA Weekly calls Anna Khaja’s performance “compelling” and L.A.TheatreReview calls it “brilliant.” Concludes EyeSpyLA, “Thoroughly entertaining and potent…the effect is transfixing.”
