PAST PRODUCTION:

SILKWORMS (A NUN PLAY)

Created by Isabel Nelson, Anne Bertram and Ensemble
April 26-May 11, 2014

In an era where a woman is expected to have either "a husband or a wall," and the most exciting task in the convent is the tending of silkworms, what is an order of discontented nuns to do? When quiet rebellions no longer suffice, sometimes only a spark is needed to ignite a bolder, more dangerous revolt. A world premiere.
