I wrote “Mali’s Moustache” during the workshop on developing children and youth plays organized by Center for Children’s Theatre Development known as CCTD, founded by Qendra Multimedia, under the supervision of Swedish playwright and author of Children’s Theater in Sweden, Lena Fridell. The play touches on a rather provocative topic: the manifestation of puberty in children assigned male at birth and the consequences of not addressing the physiological, mental, and emotional changes during the adolescent process. While writing this play, I was lucky because my younger brother was going through puberty at the time, and he became my inspiration to write this play, although the narrative of it has no direct basis in my brother’s puberty- except for the changes in his voice!
