        This profound listening experience is a live recording of a January 2017 L.A. Theatre Works production, directed by Judyann Elder. Based on interviews with seven female activists from around the globe, this tour de force was created in 2006 with the support of Vital Voices Global Partnership. The voices have their own distinct accents, indicating a range of cultural heritage, from Northern Ireland to Cambodia. They speak unabashedly about their efforts to provide women the support, protection, and resources they need for their success and well-being. The production includes post-performance panel discussions with one of the original seven, Russian activist Marina Pisklakova-Parker, and playwrights Paula Cizmar and Susan Yankowitz. SEVEN emphasizes the truth that the dignity and rights of women are essential to every culture around the globe. E.E. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

        Starred review from October 2, 2017
        This superb production of a play written by seven women is performed by seven actors portraying seven contemporary real-life women leaders from seven countries: Nigeria, Cambodia, Argentina, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, Russia, and Pakistan. The actors dramatize astonishing true stories of how these women overcame religious and national traditions of silence, fear, and submission to give voice to the voiceless and change the lives of other women. They handle the seven accents so well and tell the stories with such intensity that they are entirely convincing. The second CD goes deeper into the issues through panel discussions with playwrights Cizmar and Yankowitz and one of the women portrayed in the play, Russian leader Marina Pisklakova-Parker.
