First Hand Woman is a provocative, award-winning stage play set within a woman’s heart and mind. This powerful journey through heartache and healing is revealed as five characters explore different aspects of one whole woman. Each of these characters represents a boisterous and unapologetic stage of the grieving process. Join Denial, Bargaining, Anger, Depression and Acceptance as they unravel the secret layers of their love story.
As the play progresses, layers of this woman’s truth, and the realities of her relationship with her lover and with herself are poignantly, painfully and joyfully peeled away. The different stages of loss are struggling with more than a failed relationship as they seek the redemption and the reconciliation of her fragmented self. CAUTION: Show contains spontaneous simulated Orgasms!
First Hand Woman is powerful and uplifting stage play that is a celebration of the triumphs, losses, and hurts we all face. It provides a safe place to laugh about them and to cry about them together.
“Sarah Michelle Brown’s ‘First Hand Woman,’ a prizewinner at the Montreal Fringe Festival, recounts a failed relationship through five corners of one woman’s psyche. It sounds sad, but it is said to soar.”
~ Andy Webster, The New York Times
The women of this production embody its title. They are first hand women and this is a first rate show.”
