Hurried Steps by Dacia Maraini

Stories taken from Amnesty testimonies including a new story set in the UK are performed by an ensemble of actors

"With hurried steps these women flee from pain and discrimination. Inspired by real facts reported by Amnesty International, the text is a testimony, an accusation, a gesture of solidarity and acknowledgment of all those women who are still prisoners of a forced marriage, of a violent family, of a hustler, of tradition or of age-old discriminations which are so difficult to overcome" Darcia Maraini
