Seven is a groundbreaking work of documentary theater that captures the remarkable lives of a diverse and courageous group of women leaders from around the world.


A collaboration by seven award-winning female playwrights, the play is based on personal interviews with seven women in the Vital Voices Global Leadership Network who have triumphed over enormous obstacles to bring about major changes in their home countries of Russia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, Guatemala, and Cambodia.



A collaboration between seven extraordinary women leaders and seven award-winning female playwrights, this groundbreaking documentary play offers an inspiring glimpse into the lives of women who have overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to achieve justice and freedom.
“The lives of these women provide a portal through which audiences will be able to experience a diversity of cultures while bearing witness to the varied way in which individual women have overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles to justice and freedom.” —Melanne Verveer, Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues
