Widows, Paperback / softback Book

Widows Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

A smouldering political allegory about a political protest in a country ruled by a military junta.

From the author of Death and the Maiden, written in collaboration with Tony Kushner, author of Angels in America. In a war-torn village the men have disappeared. The women - their mothers, wives, daughters - wait by the river, hope and mourn.

Their anguish is unspoken until bruised and broken bodies begin being washed up on the banks and the women defy the military in the only form of protest left to them. Ariel Dorfman's play Widows is based on his 1983 novel of the same name.

The play was first presented by the Traverse Theatre Company at the Cambridge Arts Theatre in March 1997. (An earlier version of the play was first performed at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in July 1991).
