THE RING-WORKS  | PLAY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

​

The Ring Readers’ Club was first established three years ago to engage audiences in reading and discussing new plays and to offer valuable feedback to playwrights as they refined their work. ​ This coming Season, the program will feature a component of peer-to-peer review with a mentor playwright, a community-driven Zoom discussion and will culminate in the reading of the play and a talk-back in front of a live audience.  

​

The selected play for this upcoming Season is

SISTERHOOD OF THE SURVIVORS
by Bianca Vranceanu

Based on the real stories of four Romanian human trafficking survivors, Sisterhood of the 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 are 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: the play contains themes of violence, sexual exploitation, and abuse.
