New Original Plays: Stage Readings
The Exit 7 Players will offer two stage readings of local playwrights Najy Knee (Revolutions We Write, Revolutions We Live) and Michael Buster McMahon (Sanctuary Much).
Revolutions We Write, Revolutions We Live by Najy Knee
Revolutions We Write, Revolutions We Live written by Najy Knee, opens in Cambridge, MA in 1943 on Stella, a washed up writer looking for inspiration. To fight her writer's block, Stella assembles a group of women from her alma mater to write a novel. Among Stella's collaborators are an ex-flame, a radical older butch, a housewife with a passion for literature and science, a factory worker with upper-class origins, and a Puerto Rican woman from New York who credits Stella as one of her trailblazers and inspirations. Half of the play focuses on these women and the friendships they build (and rebuild) amidst their experience in World War II America. The other half, is the high fantasy world of the novel these characters are creating in response to their daily lives and inner turmoil and desires.
