Description
The playbill for Taylor University's performance of The Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort..
Performed October 29-31 & November 5-7, 2021 at the Mitchell Theatre.
The Women of Lockerbie is a poignant drama inspired by the real-life aftermath of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The play follows a grieving mother from New Jersey who roams the hills of Lockerbie, searching for her son's remains. She encounters the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting the U.S. government to retrieve the clothing of the victims found in the wreckage. These women aim to wash the clothes and return them to the families, transforming an act of hatred into one of love. The play explores themes of grief, healing, and the power of community and compassion.
