whatdoesfreemean?
a new play by award-winning human rights playwright Catherine Filloux
whatdoesfreemean? follows the journey of an African-American woman serving a long sentence for a non-violent drug offense. When Mary ends up in solitary confinement, she struggles to maintain her sanity in the face of loneliness, indifference, human cruelty, and loss. The play takes the audience into her psychic world. We travel alongside her self-guided intellectual and emotional journey into the nature of freedom, both physical and psychological as Marys external and internal experience unfolds on stage in the present, in memory, and in the fantasies that help her survive.
With James Edward Becton*, Brenda Crawley, Justin Jorrell, Galway McCullough*, Liz Morgan*, and Lisa Strum* as Mary
Directed by Amy S. Green
Scenic and Lighting Design by Phoebe Mauro

The Nora Salon: The Unthinkable
2018-06-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Hosted by Alexandra Bonesho, 21 Magaw Place, New York, NY, 10033, United States
Our next gathering of The Nora Salon is Monday, June 11! We hope you’ll join us for a glass of wine, friendly conversation, and an informal reading of Eve Lederman’s full length play: “The Unthinkable.”
“The Unthinkable” depicts one afternoon in a hospital room in a death-defying traumedy revealing family secrets. Backs are turned and accusations hurled as the Rosens come together and fall apart, bound by heartbreak and humor.
Please email us at reservations@norasplayhouse.org to add your name to the guest list. You’ll receive the apartment number in a separate email when your reservation is confirmed.
