Awarded “Best Acting” in The 2010 International United Solo Festival held at New York City’s Theatre Row, 42 Street, Revolting Women/WOMANBOMB explores the world of a 17-year old female suicide bomber and those of us left behind to pick up the pieces.
Local actors Martha Diaz and Christy Leichty will join playwrights Allan Graubard and Caroline McGee to portray the roles of the suicide bomber, a BBC journalist, and two mothers mourning their daughters.
A woman walks into a public place and explodes. Do we know her? Do we want to? Do we care? Revolting Women/WOMANBOMB tracks an encounter with a tragic event and how media influences our perceptions of it – when suicide becomes a political weapon.
Ms. McGee served as Director at The Lee Strasberg Institute/NYU Tisch Drama Studio, The Catholic University MFA Acting, and currently teaches at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Art Film & TV.
Allan Graubard’s recent works include Roma Amor, Invisible Heads/Surrealists in North America, and For Alejandra Pizarnik; the plays One in the Other, Gordogan; and reviews in Leonardo (MIT Press), Pacific Rim Review (Exstasis Editions) & PEN Center/NY.
