In November 2010, FSCJ Dramaworks presented Deborah Brevoort’s The Women of Lockerbie. Written in 1998 in a style deliberately evoking Greek tragedy, the story centers on a mother from New Jersey roaming the hills of Lockerbie, Scotland, looking for her son’s remains, which were lost in the crash of Pan Am 103. She meets the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting the U.S. government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane’s wreckage. The women, determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the victim’s families. Loosely inspired by a true story, it is a poetic drama about the triumph of love over hate.
This show ran at FSCJ's Wilson Center for the Arts November 10-21, 2010.
