HURRIED STEPS by Dacia Maraini
New Shoes Theatre | 05.10.2010 22:39 | Gender | Social Struggles
Recounting women’s testimonies of violence, eight stories, inspired by the experiences of real women, are presented in an honest, stark, no frills style. Amnesty International’s UK team has assisted Dacia Maraini to write a new scene exclusively for the London production, derived from Amnesty International UK testimonies. The performance is followed by a panel discussion with field workers from a number of different organisations.
Originally created as part of the international project Passi Affretatti (Hurried Steps), the play has ignited a global debate about the impact of violence against women and has already been performed worldwide and translated into six languages. The November dates are:
The Abbey Centre, Westminster on Nov 22nd
The Forum, Tunbridge Wells, on 24th Nov 2010
The Italian Institute on 27th Nov 2010
