SEVEN AWARD-WINNING PLAYWRIGHTS DOCUMENT THE STRUGGLE AGAINST INJUSTICE OF SEVEN WOMEN ON FOUR CONTINENTS

Seven award-winning playwrights — Paula Cizmar, Catherine Filloux, Gail Kriegel, Carol K. Mack, Ruth Margraff, Anna Deavere Smith, and Susan Yankowitz— have created a collaborative work for the theatre based upon personal interviews and oral histories of seven extraordinary women whose work benefits the citizens of their diverse cultures: Russia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, Guatemala, and Cambodia. The play is a testament to their extraordinary acts and common humanity in the face of injustice and violence. It had a world premiere in a staged reading that was directed by Evan Yionoulis at the 92nd St Y in New York. The play will be performed in the Spring in New York. Seven was created with the support of Vital Voices Global Partnership
