The Unplugging: (Re)Writing the Apocalypse
Tuesday, 28 Feb 2023 at 5:00 pm – Webex (see link below)
In this online event, Yvette Nolan will discuss her creative work as a playwright and theatrical director. Ms. Nolan’s play, The Unplugging, tells the story of two women who are exiled from their village in a post-apocalyptic world, after passing child-bearing age. They rely on their traditional wisdom to survive. But when a stranger from their village seeks their help, the women must decide if they will use their knowledge of the past to help the society that rejected them. Ms. Nolan's talk will be followed by a Q&A moderated by ISU playwright and creative writing professor, Charissa Menefee.Webex Link: https://iastate.webex.com/iastate/j.php?...ce186948b7
