I was repeatedly told that there isn't an African American woman who can open a show on Broadway. I said, 'Well, how do we know? How do we know if we don't do it?' I said, 'I think you're wrong.'
From Lynn Nottage
In the business of war, the role of women is really to maintain normalcy and ensure that there is cultural continuity.
Plays are getting smaller and smaller, not because playwrights minds are shrinking but because of the economics.
I can't quite remember the exact moment when I became obsessed with writing a play about the seemingly endless war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but I knew that I wanted to somehow tell the stories of the Congolese women caught in the cross-fire.
