The Black Dress

Overview

A stark, two-character chamber drama about Joanna, a middle-aged woman who returns from the camps after World War II. Seeking out her deceased husband’s mother, she cannot bring herself to reveal the truth about his fate. Instead, she invents a story to spare the grieving woman further pain. What begins as a compassionate lie soon entangles Joanna in an ever-growing web of deception, as more people who know the truth become drawn into her fragile fiction.
