13 Characters
by Élaine Charlebois
In “They Call Me Q!”, Qurrat Ann Kadwani treats us to a very personal and compelling account of her coming of age as an Indian woman living in the United states. Taking on the persona of 13 different people from various ethnic and social backgrounds who have in one way or another shaped her identity, Kadwani shows her awesome ability to fully embody a diversity of roles. The actress seamlessly shifted from one character to another and did so with such presence and conviction, making the people she was impersonating come alive on stage. With only a few simple props, Kadwani successfully captured the personality of each individual featured in her piece, rendering each character real and believable.
Overall, “They Call Me Q!” was highly entertaining and engaging. Kadwani’s amazing presence and delivery definitely makes her a force to be reckoned with. If there is one show you do not want to miss at the Fringe, this is it!
