The Women of Lockerbie

Midd-West High School proudly presents their 2015 fall play: The Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort.Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

"A mother from New Jersey roams the hills of Lockerbie Scotland, looking for her son's remains that were lost in the crash of Pan Am 103. She meets the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting the U.S. government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane's wreckage. The women, determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the victim's families. THE WOMEN OF LOCKERBIE is loosely inspired by a true story, although the characters and situations in the play are purely fictional. Written in the structure of a Greek tragedy, it is a poetic drama about the triumph of love over hate. Winner of the silver medal in the Onassis International Playwriting Competition and the Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays award."

Although there is nothing obscene or graphic about this show, the depth of the topic may not be understood by younger attendees.
