Play Title:Ilsabil's Will
Runtime:11-30 minutes
Synopsis:Tolstoy claims that "religion is that by which men live." Women live by religion as well. However, through the patriarchal ages she has "let herself be confined and immobilized, enslaved and infantilized, prostituted and exploited, deriving from it at best what...we call secondary gains by devious dominance." *

In plain English, in the Judaic-Christian tradition, of the female/male images women have gotten the short end of the proverbial stick!

In Ilsabil's Will, I've taken a humorous look at how women have been regarded by the founding fathers of the church by retelling the "Fisherman And His Wife" and giving it a religious twist.
