Juliet: A Dialogue About Love
Theatre Y Presents Juliet: A Dialogue About Love
runs September 10th - October 3rd
Juliet is a riveting 90 minute solo work performed by Theatre Y lead actress and artistic director Melissa Hawkins. A woman's enduring love is tested while she is imprisoned with her children with no chance of survival. Juliet documents the true story of the parents of Transylvanian playwright Andras Visky. In 1939, his father fled Romania for Hungary, where he was to meet his future wife. After World War II, they decided to return to Transylvania, by then a part of Romania. There Visky's father was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the crime of 'organization against socialist public order' and his wife and seven children were deported to a Romanian gulag a thousand kilometers from their home. Visky was only two years old at the time. In 1964, his father and other political prisoners were released during a short-lived period during which the regime relaxed its repressive policies. Visky himself was released the same year along with his mother and siblings. Recommeded 13 and over.
