An original, dark, funny three act play, with a strong female lead, blending the European and American culture and angst. A modern tragedy, a social vaudeville, and indirect a political play with an absurd and neo-feminist touch, coming from the tradition of Bertolt Brecht’s Three Penny Opera, Wendy Wasserstein’s Heidi Chronicles and David Hare’s Amy’s View.
The play is the unusual tale of Onda, the study of her quest for the right man and her own truth, starting in Eastern Europe right after the fall of communism and ending up in New York. It is about the changing aspirations and power of women in the last 20 years. The play revolves around the dynamic between Onda and her changing choices as a woman, from innocence to lust, sin, and redemption. It explores the power, traps, and limits of Beauty that we all love, crave, and are ready to kill for.
