The beautiful Susanna is cornered by two elders of the town while bathing naked in her garden. They offer her an impossible choice: submit to their desires, or resist and face slander and public trial. Her decision, and the repercussions that follow, sets the stage for a powerful and unnervingly contemporary examination of slut-shaming, rape culture, and the exploitation of women’s sexuality in popular media. In After I Was Free, Everyday Inferno presents in-progress excerpts from Caroline Angell’s original musical adaptation of the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders, with music by Grace Oberhofer.
