The Women of Lockerbie
The Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort
October 28, 29, 30 and November 5, 11, 13, 2011
Seven years after the crash of Pan Am Flight 103, a grieving American
couple arrives in Lockerbie, Scotland. The mother is determined to find
remains of her son, the father fears he will lose his wife to grief and the
women of the village fight the U.S. Government to release the contents
from the “shelves of sorrow” so they can wash and return the clothing
to victims’ families. This play reveals how community can help find the
courage to engage grief with an act of love so that healing can begin. A
fictional story inspired by historical events, this play contains mature,
emotional content and is appropriate for ages 14 and older. Audiences will
have the opportunity to join the playwright for a post-show conversation
on Sunday, November 13.
