Widows

By Ariel Dorfman in collaboration with Tony Kushner
Directed by Graham Watts

In a war-torn village the men have disappeared. The women - their mothers, wives, daughters - wait by the river, hope and mourn. The anguish is unspoken until bruised and broken bodies begin being washed up on the banks and the women defy the military in the only form of protest left to them.
