Alumna Rebecca Harper will direct a new play, “Women of War,” to be presented Nov. 12-15 and Nov. 19-22 by the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Theatre.
This original work, compiled and written by Harper and Professor of Theatre Karla Koskinen, MFA, explores the complexities of the human impulse to engage in warfare and the determination and strength needed to recover. Through music, dance and text, this compelling piece presents the perspectives of both victor and victim as they examine the causes and effects of war. Touching on such subjects as post-traumatic stress, loss of homeland, survival and defeat, “Women of War” examines the male and female experience.
Shows are at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12-15 and Nov. 19-21, and at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, in UAB’s Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center, 1200 10th Ave. South. "Women of War" contains strong language, adult themes and violent sexual imagery. Theatrical haze and strobe lighting will be used in this production.
