“You have to write the truth even if no one wants to hear it.” - General audience, ages 14 and up Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes
After the successful play "Changing the Water for Flowers," Caroline Rochefort takes on a major Russian figure.
Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist, covers the war in Chechnya and denounces the atrocities committed. A human rights activist, she is disruptive and talks too much. "They" nickname her the Madwoman of Moscow. A tireless worker, Anna Politkovskaya is convinced that individual civic courage will ultimately overcome the despotic state.
On October 7, 2006, she was found murdered in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment building. Inspired by true events, this play traces the extraordinary life of this journalist and offers us the portrait of a contemporary heroine.
