THE PLIANT GIRLS
By Meghan Brown
Directed by Ileana Blustein
In the second show of our 2024 season, Nu Sass will team up with fellow local theater company Theatre Prometheus for a co-production of Meghan Brown’s The Pliant Girls.
An adaptation of Aeschylus’ The Suppliants, this play tells the story of fifty sisters seeking protection after murdering the fifty brothers they would have been forced to marry.
Combining humor, heart, and a healthy dose of rage, The Pliant Girls is a sharply insightful exploration of love, sisterhood, and reclaiming the power to make your own choices.
October 18 - November 9, 2024
90 minutes, no intermission
