Let Your Women Keep Silence: A New Play Series Mots de Changer, a new theatre laboratory
About This Show
From a punk rock Mother Mary to an older Jewish woman contemplating tattoos, from Salome and her murderous mother to a lesbian couple confronting the inheritance of religion and belief, each of the plays in this new series of short works grapples with femininity and faith across the ages. A fearless inquiry into the Bible, one history’s most influential books, Let Your Women Keep Silence brings together the work of both established and emerging women playwrights, and features an all-female creative team.
