Scandinavian American Theater Company Presents KARMA FOR BIRDS
by A.A. Cristi
- Nov 14, 2016
A startling, beautiful, humorous and polemic first play by two young women about the consequences of violence, injustice and beauty. Perhaps, Elsa is a seventeen-year-old girl for sale, perhaps she is a middle-aged prostitute, or a homeless old woman, maybe she is a 130-year-old Buddhist nun. Perhaps Karma for Birds is happening right here and now . . . the invisible but palpable repression of women. Performed at the Iceland National Theatre in 2013,Karma for Birds was nominated for the Griman, Iceland's theater award for best play of the year.?

BWW Review: JOHN IRVING Grips at 92nd Street Y
