"The Women who Fought Russia's War on Ukraine" is an original, full-length drama. The story is based on primary sources. Developed through a series of 8 readings, scene by scene during revisions, incorporating audience feedback.
7 Scenes dramatize the Women most directly involved, during the Russian dictator's deliberate, unprovoked assault on Ukraine-- its cities, its farms, its people.
The Sample:
10 pages from the script of
"The Women who Fought Against Russia's War on Ukraine."
A ten-page sample to give you a taste.
These pages come from a scene between a mother and her adult son: -- a backstory to current events.
That son is the Russian Dictator, and he is in the midst of Russia's deliberate starving to death of five million Ukrainians.
Even in public readings, the power of this targeted apocalypse comes across. It is Not just about Ukraine-- But about Tyranny. Patriarchs. Dictators.
In the current climate of interest, perhaps you'll feel this would meet the current, surging, topical interest of your audience.
Would welcome sending your theatre the full script. Have been developing it through readings to get the gestural language just right.
Perhaps you, too, will see this as a work that can harness theatre to edify-- entertain-- and inspire. To offer relevance to our times.
(And this is the sequel to the play successfully staged in a full-production, to full houses, well-reviewed, at 7 Stages.)
