How Do You Direct A Play About Rape Survivors? Talking To The Tony-Nominated Director Of 'Eclipsed'

ThinkProgress: There are no men in Eclipsed. You can’t see them, anyway. You can feel them. The five women onstage can feel them, too. You’ve probably heard this about the show, which is nominated for six Tony awards, including Best Play. It is the first of its kind: The first Broadway play with an all-black, all-female cast; the first play on Broadway with an all-female cast, period. It was written by a woman, Danai Gurira, and is directed by a woman, Liesl Tommy.
