Su questo libro

Recensione:

'Twelve Women in a Cell' celebrates and gives tribute to women of disobedience. This autobiographical play tells the story of women of differing backgrounds and beliefs, imprisoned in the same cell in Egypt in 1980. Prostitutes and criminals are forced to wait on the political prisoners. The humanity, tenderness, and humour in this play reveal universal truths recognisable to all cultures. --Arcola Theatre, London

'...a great opportunity for those who don't see much live theatre by women to know what they've been missing' --Everywoman Magazine

Mephisto: It's an epic story that spans thirteen years, from 1923 to 1936. This time line shows how Germany, dispirited after its World War I defeat and economically depressed by rampant inflation was fertile soil for political saviors; - first Lenin and the Communists (espoused by most of the theater company) and then Hitler and the Nazis, (inevitably leading to divided loyalties). --Curtain Up
