(stage reading, talkback) "Juliet" is a work of both real life and poetry: a story of a woman arrested and deported with her seven children to the Romanian wilderness under the communist regime of the 1950s."Juliet" was written in tribute to the authors mother. Visky, a Hungarian-Romanian playwright, poet, and essayist, was born in 1957, the youngest of seven children. One year later, his father was sentenced to 22 years in prison and forced labor by the Romanian communist authorities. Andras Visky, his mother, and his siblings were then deported to a remote encampment, where they subsisted on the sheer determination of a despairing mother and enterprising eldest brother who somehow kept the family alive.---The 2022 Spring Stage Readings: Bridging the Worlds is organized by the Vaclav Havel Library Foundation and the Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute New York, Untitled Theater Company #61, Consulate General of the Czech Republic in New York, GOH Productions, and Romanian Cultural Institute.
