Time of Women
Opening Night: January 12, 2017
Closing: January 15, 2017
Theater: NYU Tisch School of the Arts Shop Theatre
A story of three women at the forefront of the movement for a democratic Belarus with an unflinching dedication to the truth. Iryna Khalip, the PEN Pinter Prize-winning journalist, Natalya Radina, editor of the pro-human rights news site Charter 97, and political activist Nasta Palazhanka were all imprisoned at the time of the fraudulent presidential elections of 2010. “Time of Women celebrates their refusal to be silenced, reminding us that when freedoms are curtailed, survival comes at a price” (The Guardian).

The murk and dankness of a jail cell enfold the characters of Time of Women like a fog that refuses to lift even when the sun is out.
