So the Ghosts Can Speak – The Sprits of “Broken” Women

In my commitment to encourage women to start CREATING, I wanted to pass on the following information about So the Ghosts can Speak by Francesca Andre.  Here is a hint to publicists, I’m a lot less likely to automatically hit the delete button if you take the time to send a personalized email as opposed to an indiscriminate email blast. I was contacted by the folks responsible for promoting So the Ghosts Can Speak. They also made my life easier by telling me what the heck their project was about without me having to figure it out.  You might be interested in their work keep creating folks!:

So the ghosts can speak are stories of stolen innocence told by the ghosts themselves. Seventeen emotionally charged acts of soul-gripping monologues  written and directed by Francesca Andre that answer the question, If these Ghosts could speak… what would we hear?  What would they say?   These are the narratives of women whose spirits have been broken by abuse of the worst kind- sexual, physical, and emotional.  We see them in the flesh… lovers, sisters, friends, mothers, neighbors, wives, and co-workers who, through tales of tragedy, personify the strength, courage, and tenacity of a woman.   They seek resurrection by reliving the past, because they long to exist in the present.  These seventeen ghosts will speak aloud, and as individuals, shine visible as beacons that will lead other lost ghosts to the land of the living.

A ghost is one that is unseen, transparent, and invisible to the naked eye.   A ghost is the supposed spirit of somebody who has perished or died.  In some instances ghosts walk among the living.  She can stand before you, but you won’t see her.  She can converse with poise and excitement, but her truer words are heavy with sadness and despair.  Her smiles will be loud and cheerful, but her cries will be hidden, tearless, and inaudible.  She is the unseen, unheard spirit in the flesh.  She is a ghost, trapped in the purgatory of her past.   And she longs to speak. –
