Danai Gurira’s new play at the Public Theater follows the tragedy of the Liberian Civil War.
Danai Gurira's Eclipsed is now in performances at the Public Theater, starring Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave), who makes her New York stage debut.
Directed by Obie Award winner Liesl Tommy, Eclipsed is a look at the Liberian Civil War from the perspective of the captive wives of a Liberian rebel officer. With the arrival of a new woman who can read, and the return of an old one who can kill, their possibilities are quickly transformed. Joining Nyong'o in the cast are Pascale Armand, Akosua Busia, Zainab Jah, and Saycon Sengbloh.
