For a Barbarian Woman and other plays

FOR A BARBARIAN WOMAN AND OTHER PLAYS. By Saviana Stanescu. Saviana Stanescu's barbarian heroines are not victims; they are strong rebellious and resilient women who struggle to fulfill their potential despite inauspicious historical geographical and socio-economic circumstances. The three plays included in this volume (Don't / Dream For a Barbarian Woman Useless) explore the contradictions of civilization and the primitive privilege and exclusion rich and poor rational and irrational; with pathos humor and vivacity. Roman poet Ovid exile suicide human traffic undocumented immigrants and domestic workers are a few of the topics that intersect in this thought-provoking book of a multi-rooted playwright committed to bring outsiders center stage. This is a NoPassport Press publication.
