Glamrou – aka Amrou Al-Kadhi - returns to the London stage with Glamrou: Drag Mother.

In this autobiographical show, Glamrou is exploring the relationship with their mother.

The show sees Amrou playing both Glamrou and their mother - confronting each other on stage.

As Amrou wrote about in their book, when Amrou confronted their mother about why she hated them being a drag queen so much, she said: “it’s awful being a woman. I am so jealous that you were born a man…and you’ve wasted it dressing like a woman. I would kill to have the freedom that you have.”

This show explores the pressures of Muslim womanhood and how it interacts with the freedom, femininity and complexities of a Muslim drag queen.

 Glamrou: Drag Mother will run at Soho Theatre in London from 20-25 January
