Synopsis: | A One-Woman One Act Play. The story chronicles the turbulent life of Geraldine Blevins and her struggles to escape her abusive marriage and is loosely based on author Jaisun McMillian's own experience with domestic violence. Through a combination of flashbacks, past and present tense, Geraldine tells her story, in her own words, from it's romantic beginning to terrifying end. The production features Emelia C. Cowans as Geraldine and Kelvin De'Marcus Allen, who plays her abusive husband, Danny.
"The Anatomy of a Woman Abused is by far the most extraordinarily written and produced play I've seen in 20 years. The actors brought the scenes to life generating responses from the audience, including me, as if we were actually witnessing the abuse as it happened. It was in the moment!! I would encourage every adult, including young adults, to see and experience this play and in the process, learn about domestic violence and how it impacts everyone." - Laura Hilton, Director of Communications/Community Education & Training Program, INTERACT, Raleigh, NC.
