"At the center of the tale is Awesta Zarif's Afiya, the sister determined to make the best of her circumstances while also working to protect all of those around her from the Taliban's cruel games. Zarif carries Afiya's drive, passion, and strain perfectly, showing the woman's complexity and burden in every movement, and continuously keeping the audience's eye. While the story is centered around Taroon's circumstances, it's Zarif who seems to be the center of gravity for the plot and performance - she's the one making decisions and contingencies, evaluating the direness of the situation and working to ensure everyone comes through, even at her own expense, and the moments when she allows her own grief to show through that grit are the moments when you realize how much better the world would be with more people like her." - Broadway World Review of Selling Kabul
