Director Shari Upbin and cast members discuss the play Women's Minyan. Click video:
Women's Minyan is the story of a respected Rabbi’s wife in the patriarchal ultra-Orthodox community of Jerusalem. After years of abuse by her husband, she breaks her silence only to find herself excommunicated and forcibly separated from her twelve children. She convenes a Minyan (a quorum) of women closest to her, including her mother, mother-in-law, sister, daughters, and friends, asking them to decide her worthiness to be reunited with her children. Even as they sit in judgment, it is ultimately they themselves, and their entire society, that are on trial.
Directed by Shari Upbin, Sean McClelland set design
and Matt Corey Sound Design. Partially underwritten by Judi and Allan Schuman and Lenore Tagerman.
One Circle Productions holds exclusive rights to future productions of Women's Minyan. Inquiries welcome: http://www.onecircleproductions.com/.
