In a story inspired in part by disturbing Ottawa headlines, Burning Passions Theatre premieres a new play, Daughters of Khadija, written and directed by Ottawa theatre artist Laurel Smith. “This play follows a group of Ottawa women – mothers, daughters, friends – as they navigate their daily lives, each clinging to their dreams while carrying the unwelcome weight of how others often unfairly view them,” says Smith. “This story is ultimately about finding the courage of one’s voice, overcoming obstacles, and living inside one’s hope.”
