VALDOSTA — 365bet中文 Theatre and Dance will present “The Women of Lockerbie” Oct. 22-28号在实验室剧院舞台. 现在正在售票.

A poetic drama written by Deborah Brevoort, “The Women of Lockerbie” tells the story of a mother from New Jersey who “roams the hills of Lockerbie, 苏格兰, 寻找她儿子的遗体, which were lost in the crash of Pan Am [Flight] 103,根据剧本梗概. “她遇到了洛克比的女人, who are fighting the United States government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane’s wreckage. Determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, the women want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the victims’ families.”

Although the characters and situations in “The Women of Lockerbie” are purely fictional, the play was inspired by the real-life attack on Pan Am Flight 103, which was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Dec. 21, 1988, while operating the transatlantic leg of its route from Frankfurt, 德国, 到底特律, 密歇根州. All 243 passengers and 16 机组人员members on board were killed, 189 of them American citizens. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, 苏格兰, killing 11 more people on the ground. 被称为洛克比爆炸案, this event was the largest attack on American civilians in United States history, 直到9月. 11, 2001.

“I purchased a manuscript copy of the play from Dramatists Play Service before it was even published,H说。. 杜克格思里, director and professor of theatre in bet365亚洲官网’s Theatre and Dance Area, 传播艺术系, 艺术学院. “The play has had a place in my small office library for some time, and I have found myself going back to it again and again. Perhaps it is because I have visited 苏格兰 and was struck by its beauty, or perhaps it is because I remember exactly where I was standing in my parents’ home when learning of the crash from the Today Show on the morning of Dec. 22, 1988. But I think I am drawn to this play because of two questions — How do we respond to acts of hatred? How should we respond to acts of hatred?

“The cast, 机组人员, and 创意团队 of ‘The Women of Lockerbie’ hope this production gives you things to ponder as well.”

“The Women of Lockerbie” is a contemporary play presented in the style of an ancient Greek tragedy, a play that has been translated into 10 languages and performed more than 400 times in theatres all across the United States and in 苏格兰, 英格兰, 爱尔兰, 日本, 希腊, 西班牙, 波兰, 白俄罗斯, 和澳大利亚. It is the recipient of a Fund for New American Plays award from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and a silver medal from the Onassis International Playwriting Competition.
