Production Synopsis by Playwright Bianca Vranceanu:
Based on the real stories of four Romanian human trafficking survivors, Sisterhood of Survivors is set in a long-term recovery shelter and explores the three periods of each woman’s life: their childhood, their human trafficking experience, and their healing journey. The monologue style play showcases how trust and strength is built through telling their stories, and how through their shared experience they can build relationships with one another and attain a life of freedom, independence, and resilience.
Content Warning: This play focuses on the stories of survivors of human trafficking. Throughout the play themes of violence, exploitation, and abuse appear.
Atmospheric Warning: This production includes the use of water based theatrical haze, water based theatrical fog, flashing/strobing lights, and loud noises.
