Sisterhood of the Survivors
By Bianca Vranceanu
A Reading Directed by Leslie Pasternack
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.
This reading is part of the Ring-works New Play Development Program.
Content warning: the play contains themes of violence, sexual exploitation, and abuse.
