FRANK THEATHRE Presents ECLIPSED
Sept 17th- Oct 10th
3156 23rd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55407
For more information on times visit www.franktheatre.org
“ECLIPSED centers on the lives of five women who are thrown together by the recent civil war in Liberia. Salvaged as chattel from wartime looting, these “wives” of the commanding officer form a hardscrabble sisterhood and develop their own hierarchy as they confront questions of survival in their compound. The arrival of a new girl who has learned to read, and the return of a former “wife” who can kill, quickly transforms their possibilities. Surprisingly vivacious and often funnier than you would expect, ECLIPSED raises thought-provoking questions about power and resistance, solidarity and complicity, as the women hold out for the hope of a brighter destiny.”
