This two-person drama concerns reunited criminals as they try to find a straight path in the world. After her release from prison, Lorraine heads straight to the only other person who she has felt close to in years: her former cellmate Marie. While locked up, the two shared everything, but on the outside, their friendship threatens to destroy their fragile freedom. Playwright Chloe Moss won the Susan Smith Blackburn Playwriting Prize in 2009 for This Wide Night. Seattle Public Theater's production is directed by Sheila Daniels and stars Emily Chisholm (The 13th of Paris, Tryst) and Christina Mastin as the ex-convicts. Learn More

Description
Writer/director/actress Adelheid Roosen collected testimonies of women living in the Netherlands who were born and raised in countries that include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Somalia, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq. Intermixing live music, dance and film, she has transformed her conversations into a series of dramatic and moving monologues performed in English by three Turkish actresses of Muslim descent and accompanied by a live musician on the saz, a lute-like stringed instrument from Turkey.
Since its premiere in the Netherlands in 2001, The Veiled Monologues has been performed in Europe, the Middle East, and before the Dutch Parliament and national convention of Holland’s law enforcement agencies.
