Time of Women

Time of Women is a play about three women on the forefront of the movement for a democratic Belarus: Irina Khalip, the PEN Pinter Prize-winning journalist arrested for her coverage of Lukashenko’s regime, described by Sir Tom Stoppard as “the writer I wanted to be”; journalist Natalya Radina who was also imprisoned after the 2010 presidential elections causing Amnesty International to name her a prisoner of conscience demanding her release together with the Committee to Protect Journalists; and the human rights activist Nasta Palazhanka, who campaigned tirelessly for the release of her loved one Zmitser Dashkevich upon her release from prison.
