Scripts About Nuclear Weapons

Our newest list comes to us from playwright Ricardo Soltero-Brown: "Last fall, the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons received its fiftieth ratification from countries all around the world. Its entry-into-force -- a landmark achievement in the movement for nuclear disarmament -- is now set for January 22, 2021. The scripts below all address various aspects of nuclear weapons. Through different genres and styles, they provide an opportunity to inspire a penetrating look into this critical subject."

Marie-Claire Erdynast recommended Sturgeon Play by Marisa Carr
“ Beautiful, heart-warming, and heart-breaking. Sturgeon Play details an intimate friendship and coming of age story between a human girl and a Sturgeon. This play deftly taps into the emotional realities of environment issues such as over fishing and the sacrifices humans must make to survive. Sturgeon Play reminds us of how to give love and receive love in return. ”
