Script Reading Club, A Series

December 2: Come Good Rain, by George Serremba. A miracle happened on December 10, 1980, when Ugandan villagers came upon the bullet-ridden, broken body of a 23-year-old man. The young man, who had just returned from his liberal studies abroad during the brutal dictatorship of Idi Amin, was unprepared to deal with Amin’s equally brutal successor, Milton Obote. When he publicly opposed the state of Ugandan politics, he was arrested, tortured, and left for dead. That young man, George Serremba, would live to tell his story in a solo, life-affirming play he has performed around the world.

Participants will be given an electronic copy the script via email, to prepare for group discussion. The virtual Zoom session will be moderated by Faye Sholiton, in a project co-produced with Interplay Jewish Theatre.
