Her plays have fun titles such as Love Jihad <3 (Clubbed Thumb Biennial Semi-Finalist), Obligate Carnivores, U-Haul Mesbians, Ender’s Gay, Never Forget That Jasper Cullen Was a Confederate Soldier, and, written with her twin sister Samah, The Mysterious Mystery of the Lost Letters and The Better Banana™ (Brooklyn Publishers). She is thrilled to join the New York Neo-Futurists ensemble. salwameghjee.com
