“Soul-searing… Eclipsed [/i]shines with a compassion that makes us see beyond the suffering to the indomitable humanity of its characters.” Charles Isherwood, New York Times [/i] [/i] “A major achievement… Eclipsed [/i]is shattering in part because, while the Liberian Civil War finally ended, the struggle continues in a ravished human landscape. We can do little more than bear witness—something this miraculous play helps boldly to accomplish.” Jeremy Gerard, Deadline [/i] [/i] “Danai Gurira’s remarkable play is an epic of war and suffering… painted with warmth, humor and rage…A considerable work of art.” Stewart Pringle, Time Out London [/i] [/i] “It’s a common lament that there are no good roles for women. But Danai Gurira has packed this harrowing drama with five of them.” Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News [/i] [/i] Amid the chaos of the Liberian Civil War, the captive wives of a rebel officer band together to form a fragile community—until the balance of their lives is upset by the arrival of a new girl. Drawing on reserves of wit and compassion, Eclipsed [/i]reveals distinct women who must discover their own means of survival in this chilling and humanizing story of transformation and renewal in a hostile world of horrors not of their own making. Danai Gurira is an award-winning Zimbabwean American actor and playwright. Her plays include In the Continuum [/i], The [/i] Convert [/i], Familiar [/i]and Eclipsed [/i]. As an actor, she is best known for her role as Michonne on AMC’s The Walking Dead [/i]. She is the co-founder of Almasi Collaborative Arts, and founder LOVE OUR GIRLS: a campaign bringing awareness to injustices faced by women and girls throughout the world. (Visit: logpledge.org [/i])
