The Stratford Playhouse’s Black Box Theatre presents The Balkan Women for a limited run on March 4-6.
The play is a contemporary story set in a Serbian detention camp for Muslim women in the mid-1990s. The horror of the Serbian/Bosnian war is shown as men are pitted against women, Christians against Muslims, and Croats against Serbs in a drama that bares the inner conflicts that result when society is governed by illogical ethnic hatreds. The production is very moving as the author explores this war from a purely humanitarian viewpoint – every side is addressed.
Director David Clayton explains, “I've wanted to produce this show every since I first read it. I was drawn to the story by how it is both ancient and modern simultaneously with the use of a Greek chorus and the backdrop of a vicious modern European war. The Balkan Women struck me emotionally and made me think about our so called civilized society. I always believed that the atrocities that happened in this war could never happen in my lifetime. I believed that we had learned from our mistakes, but I was unfortunately very wrong.”
With the limited run and limited seating in the Black Box Theatre, be sure to arrive at 6:30 pm to get seats. Tickets sold at the door.
