Once her complaint is made and the system has clicked in, George is doomed, even though, as he protests: ‘I eat curry with my hands – I can’t be racist!’
The most daring moment comes when he ties a flag of St George around his head and turns it into a red-and-white, hijab-style scarf. ‘If Fatima can wear her culture on her head, why can’t I?’
The play suggests that rebellion is as much the reason as religion for British Muslims to take the veil. Fatima ‘probably thinks she’s burning her bra by wearing a hijab’, one of her friends quips.
But her mother (Shobu Kapoor) is furious with the child. She argues that Asian women struggled against the oppression of the veil, only for Western Muslims to readopt it in the mistaken belief that it establishes their identity. ‘I’d rather you were a one-legged prostitute than a hijab wearer,’ she cries.

But then one, Fatima, suddenly starts wearing the hijab, the Muslim headscarf. It’s not the full burka, but it’s an unmistakable sign that something has changed in her life.
The trick of the play is that we never actually see Fatima. We just hear the other characters talking about her. Why has she done it? What does it mean? Why has she cut herself off from her friends? Even her twin brother Mohammed can’t understand her motivation, while the twins’ mother is absolutely furious with her daughter, having fought her own ex-husband for the right to wear Western dress. In a line that captures Gupta’s vigorous way with dialogue, Fatima’s mum memorably declares: “I told her I’d be happier if she’d turned out to be a one-legged, pregnant prostitute than a hijab wearer.”
Meanwhile, women like Natasha Cournoyer, who went missing in Laval Thursday, Oct. 1, get front-page play days after their disappearance, and thousands of dollars are offered in reward money. It was months before the media outside of Kahnawake broadcast Tiffany’s case.
Legitimate cases are not helped by the fact that 80 per cent of the 8,196 missing person cases reported to Quebec police in 2008 – an average of 22 a day – involve runaways, 86 per cent of whom turn up in the first week.
A study by the Canadian Native Women’s Association of Canada documented 520 cases of missing or murdered aboriginal women since 1980, more than three-quarters of which remain unresolved. If a proportionate number of white women were missing, said association president Beverly Jacobs, “you’d be looking at 18,000 cases.”
Even if the person is a prostitute or addict, it shouldn’t make a difference, said Kary-Ann Deer of the Quebec association.
… Ed’s note: Vermonter Liam Downey returned last month to Montreal for the IF3 film fest and associated sidecars. It brought back a lot of memories, and forged new ones too, like how signing late at night in Qubec is an international language. This is Downey’s first piece for ESPN Freeskiing.)
Historically, Montreal has been a hit-or-miss spot for me. Coming of age in Vermont, the city to the north offered all the sordid excitement that a pre-21 party destination possibly could: 18-and-up bars and strip clubs abound. But despite the huge potential, my Québec outings suffered from poor judgment and a lack of planning. Too much money was spent, the language barrier got us in trouble, four of us slept in a Subaru Outback, someone got in a fight, and so it goes.

SO, who would be your in your theatre-writing dream team? We asked four experts:
Fitzrovia actor Griff Rhys Jones said he would like to see a play written by George Bernard Shaw with the help of American screenwriter, director, playwright and novelist Ben Hect. “Shaw could write something opinionated, and then we could rely on Hect to polish it up,” he said.
The Observer’s theatre critic Susannah Clapp, who lives in Bloomsbury, said her dream team would consist of Ben Jonson, the English renaissance playwright, teamed up with Lucy Prebble, behind the Secret Diary of a Call Girl and the latest hit, Enron. She said: “Both are scabrous analysers of the way money rots society.”
Her English boyfriend doesn’t get it; her Asian best friend is horrified; her twin brother resents being asked to speak for her; while their liberal
teacher tries to make them debate the issue.
It’s funny, gobby, of the moment and, most importantly, dramatises the prejudice, fear and
ignorance surrounding a religious symbol that too often renders its wearer a cypher among a group of
inner-city teenagers.
‘I’m a feminist so I can’t pretend I think the hijab is liberating,’ says Sen Gupta, who bubbles over with confidence and opinions.
She can also boast of having written for hit C4 series Skins and is currently halfway through a politics degree at Warwick University.
‘But I’m also suspicious of some white men, for instance, who say it’s terrible and oppressive but who clearly don’t give a s*** about women’s rights when it comes to, say, prostitution and pornography.

When the Save the Main coalition formed early this summer, their vision encompassed a broad definition of culture worthy of protection. Their members included Concordia faculty and students.
The area around the St. Laurent/Ste. Catherine intersection has been an entertainment destination for Montreal even before the Monument National was constructed as the home of French culture in 1893. Since then the neighbourhood has housed cinemas, dime museums, nightclubs, dance halls and brothels, and has found its way into the work of Marcel Tremblay, Monique Proulx and Heather ONeill.
Famed as the centre of Montreals red light district, the area attracts both clients and the curious. Municipal governments have a long history of ambivalence with such neighbourhoods; relying on the tourism they generate and taming them from time to time to earn votes.
… Ex- judge Gomery became a national figure for investigating fundraising corruption in political parties, and now he’s the honourary finance chairman for a political party whose leader has stated publicly that he would openly embrace politically-corrupt fundraising practices,” said Searle, who represented Loyola for several terms, but chose not to be on the ballot four years ago so he could instead run for mayor of the Borough of Côte des Neiges-NDG.
Searle pointed the finger at Projet Montréal leader, Richard Bergeron, “who made his press announcement a few weeks back that anonymous campaign cash contributions to election campaigns were wrong politically and morally, but that he was going to take them anyway, but only $25 maximum. Well, it’s rather like being a prostitute. You know, whether you’re a $25 prostitute or a $1,000 prostitute, the result is the same.”

The racy subject of a third strip club for Belleville will be debated one more time in City Council Chambers today. Council unanimously accepted a staff report late last month aimed at restricting the revival of the former Doc’s Hotel on Station Street as an adult entertainment facility. Two brothers Carlos and Robert Moniz plan to reopen the building with a restaurant on the main floor and a strip club on the second storey. Carlos Moniz said after the September 28th council meeting they’ll “sue the city big time” if council implements the restrictions.

But don’t expect to read shocking revelations. Pere Jean will stay true to the seal of confession. His goal is to shine a light on a forgotten part of society.
“It’s amazing to see how deep their thoughts and words can be,” said the priest, who worked for 38 years at Montreal’s Bordeaux – considered the country’s toughest jail.
The unconventional chaplain said he was destined to spend his life in prison.
“Hadn’t I chosen to be a priest, I probably would have become the world’s greatest gangster. I’m a passionate person,” he asserted in a book recently published about his life.
Patry recalled being a petty criminal when he was young. He stole regularly, beat up kids in his neighbourhood and wrecked a school. He was saved by his family, his faith and a magazine article on a French priest working with prostitutes in Paris’s red-light district.
