Based on Material by Ukrainian Playwrights:

Just Tell No One
from the full-length play Night Devours Morning
by Oksana Savchenko, translated by John Freedman

Just Tell No One reveals the human consequences of war. These site-specific, multimedia readings immerse the audience in human stories and images of conflict so exquisitely painful they can no longer be perceived as real. It’s intimate, tender, brutal and darkly funny, illuminating a part of the world where an incomprehensible set of rules is at play, and people struggle to make sense of the complexity of one another with life and death consequences.

Part of Worldwide Ukrainian Play Readings
