Much Ado About Nothing

Dominican University of California

Based on the real stories of four Romanian human trafficking survivors, Sisterhood of Survivors is set in a long-term recovery shelter and explores the three periods of each woman’s life: their childhood, their human trafficking experience, and their healing journey. The monologue style play showcases how trust and strength is built through telling their stories, and how through their shared experience they can build relationships with one another and attain a life of freedom, independence, and resilience.
