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. |
