FAT MUSLIM GIRLS by Ken Kaissar performed by Quarantine Players

When risqué photographs of college students are found in a professor’s desk, one professor, outraged by the lack of action, is determined to see justice served. She mobilizes the faculty, writes letters, and gives interviews to keep the story alive. But she fails to take two major details into account: all of the photographed students are overweight, and all are of Middle-Eastern descent. The public becomes less concerned with justice for one student and more concerned with body shaming and threats of global terrorism.
