No One Is Forgotten

Lali and Beng are held captive.
No one knows where they’ve been taken or if they’re alive.
Or, maybe their story has been broadcast to the world?
A story about intimacy, surrender, and the will to live for someone else.

    This play should be programmed in every season across the world. A political story through a deeply human lens, this is our Now.

    Absolutely stunning. This play shines a low-watt industrial light into the dirty corners of the soul. I was profoundly moved.
    I'm shocked it hasn't been produced more and greatly admire Winter Miller for mounting it herself at Rattlestick.

    Premiere Stages, the professional Equity theatre in residence at Kean University, is pleased to recognize “No One Is Forgotten” by Winter Miller as a semifinalist for the 2019 Premiere Play Festival. “No One Is Forgotten” rose through a competitive selection process conducted by Premiere staff and a panel of outside theatre professionals to become one of 23 semifinalists out of 659 submissions. The panel was particularly impressed by its extraordinarily detailed characterization and the profound sense of intimacy it engenders—both between Lali and Beng and between the characters and the audience. Our congratulations and thanks to Winter.
