Milena Depolo i Boban Skerlić: WOMEN WHO HAVE SUFFERED

The content of this important play are seven true confessions of women in Serbia who killed their husbands, lovers or simply bullies ..., and were sentenced to nine to fourteen years for that...

OThe theme of the play is domestic violence, an often tacit and concealed phenomenon towards which our society "nourishes" some kind of weird tolerance and indifference. The authors of the play bring us the dramatization of seven cases that are socially and contextually very different, though substantially similar, offering an artistically based yet socially engaged analysis of the problem...

On the other hand, the engagement of the authors, which is clearly articulated in the play, can be seen in the precise display of the inadmissible attitude of the institutions towards this problem.

This entire complex "material" of the play was rendered to the audience by seven wonderful actresses, who passionately and with dedication plunged into darkness and despair, bringing to the stage the one thing most difficult to attain in the theatre – the truth.
