Product Description
by Emma Stanton (Author)
No Candy is a play that centers around a multi-generational community of Bosnian Muslim women who run a gift shop near the Srebrenica memorial. The play follows how each woman copes, both privately and publicly, with the particular trauma she experienced during the war: She dreams of Julie Andrews; She dresses drag in her father's clothes; She sings late-night karaoke to strangers; She allows the ghost of her husband to stay a little while in her home.
No Candy is very much about how trauma inhabits the body and shapes a community. But it is also about the persistence of humor, art and absurdity in an unimaginable time.
