"Needless to say, we think this is an important project as it opens up honest discussions about sexual abuse and violence, lets people tell their stories, and brings attention to a subject that is still rife with taboo." - SheraMag |
UNHEARD is a unique new writing festival exploring themes around sexual abuse and violence. The Festival will feature 12 events spread over four days and includes scratch performances of new short plays, rehearsed readings of new one-act and full length plays as well as a spoken word event and a one-woman-show. Furthermore, UNHEARD will also be presented in combination with three V-Day benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues.
