Alliance for the Arts to present ‘The Chechens’
The Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers will present “The Chechens,” written by Phillip Christian Smith and directed by Bill Taylor, on Aug. 5-7 and Aug. 12-14 at 7:30 p.m. and on Aug. 15 at 2 p.m.
Set in modern day Grozny, the capital of Russia’s Chechen Republic, rumors are going around that “certain people” are being rounded up and held in a camp on the east edge of town. Can one family protect their little brother who may or may not be the next target? Will they turn him in? Will they go so far as to honor-kill him? What prevails in the end-religion, politics or love?
Winner of the 2019 Janet and Bruce Bunch New Play Contest Award, the play stars Reuben Garcia, Miguel Cintron, Sharon Isern, Leila Mesdaghi and Madelaine Weymouth.
The cost is $25 for members and $30 for non-members.
