I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me by a Young Lady From Rwanda
By Sonja Linden
Directed by Warren Bowles April 29, May 5 and 6, 2009 • 11:00am Performances (some earlier by arrangement)
The Setting: London -- 1999
Recommended Grade Level: 8-12 Related Areas of Study: Genocide Studies, The Arts as a Healing Force, Memoir, Current Events, The Holocaust The Story: Juliette is a survivor of the genocide in Rwanda, now trying to survive a hostile and unfamiliar life in London. She has written a book about her harrowing experience and hopes Simon, a struggling poet, can help her get it published. Through awkward language barriers and cultural gaps, Juliette and Simon don't know quite what to do with their blossoming friendship or with Juliette's writing, until they unlock the poetry of her personal experience. Winner of the Time Out London Critic Choice Award™, this play reminds us of the incredible power of the written word and how from time to time, we need a nudge to realize our own glorious possibilities.
