Never underestimate the voice of a woman who is determined to be heard. As women all around the world grow louder and louder in speaking about the issues that we face daily, theatre has become more and more bold in exploring them, and Dacia Maraini’s Hurried Steps is poised to be one of the hardest-hitting plays of them all.
Comprising ten true stories from women all over the world and written in collaboration with Amnesty International, the play is set to take Sydney stages at the end of November in conjunction with the UN Women’s Campaign’s 16 Days of Activism and White Ribbon Day.
Written to be performed as a staged reading, Hurried Steps presents shocking and often confronting stories of pain andabuse from women inBelgium, Italy, Jordan, the UK, Mexico, Nigeria, Tibet and Albania as well as a special addition for Australian performances.The hour-long play will be followed by a Q&A between a panel of local experts(including professionals) and the audience.
Hurried Steps will play at the NIDA Theatres Playhouse on Friday November 25 and Saturday November 26 and the New Theatre on Sunday November 27. Tickets available now.
