Description

James Elazzi’s Queen Fatima is a heartfelt comedy about celebrating our differences.

Fast approaching 31, Fatima is feeling the pressure from her bakery-owning family to get married and have children. Her boyfriend, Karim, wants their relationship to remain secret. His high-flying, lawyer parents definitely wouldn’t approve of the match. In an effort to prove to Karim and his family she is worthy of his love, Fatima comes up with a plan to win Queen Lebanon Australia. Moonia, the pageant organiser, accepts Fatima because this year she wants a ‘diverse group of girls’ and Fatima is unlike anything the competition has seen before. With the help of her 74-year-old best friend Gada and her coffee cup readings, Fatima goes through a transformation that not even she expected.

PRODUCTION HISTORY: Queen Fatima was first produced by the 2021 Sydney Festival and the National Theatre of Parramatta, at the Riverside Theatre from 1-16 January 2021.
