By Deborah Brevoort
Directed by Bernard Teuben
A mother from New Jersey roams the hills of Lockerbie
Scotland, looking for her son’s remains that were lost in
the crash of Pan Am Flight 103. During her search, she
meets the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting the U.S.
government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the
plane’s wreckage.
The women, determined to convert an act of hatred into an
act of love, want to wash the clothes of the dead and return
them to the victim’s families.
The Women of Lockerbie is loosely inspired by a true story,
although the characters and situations in the play are purely
fictional. Written in the structure of a Greek tragedy, it is a
poetic drama about the triumph of love over hate. Winner
of the silver medal in the Onassis International Playwriting
Competition and the Kennedy Center Fund for New
American Plays award.
