Witnessing to a Murder

A Play by Elizabeth O'Sullivan

Two women meet briefly in a hallway. Gunshots kill one of them and send the other crashing through the boundaries that separate her from horror and from the voice of God. This autobiographical performance is grounded in the practices of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

It's a compelling story, and she tells it movingly but unsentimentally. It's interesting both for the story of the murder itself and for the mysticism with a quirky sense of humor.

Witnessing to a Murder is a powerful piece of storytelling, and an amazing piece of theater. It clearly captures the unreal horror of watching someone get killed, and it honestly portrays the process of coping, dealing, denying and finally accepting. The presence of a spiritual tradition (the Quakers) is both palpable and unobtrusive. Whatever your background, this will show you how a spiritual life can give you the ground under yourself, to recover and return to your life after a painful shock.
