SHALOM TASK FORCE PRESENTS “FLOWERS AREN’T ENOUGH”
SHALOM TASK FORCE PRESENTS “FLOWERS AREN’T ENOUGH”
Wednesday, Nov. 14, 7:30 pm
“Flowers Aren't Enough" is the story of Michal, a young woman from an upper-middle-class family who finds herself in an abusive relationship. Michal describes how her husband gradually narrows her world isolating her from her surroundings. We see her denial, her guilt, and how social conditionings intensify her shame and despair. We witness Michal sinking into darkness and then watch how she takes charge of her life, and rediscovers herself.
The monologue, performed by acclaimed Israeli-American actress Naomi Ackerman, is woven from true stories and actual incidents graciously shared by women willing to talk about their personal experiences. The show has been performed over 900 times in Israel and around the world.
“Flowers Aren't Enough" is sixty minutes long and will be followed by a discussion with Lisa Twerski, LCSW, Director of Special Projects for Shalom Task Force.
The performance is for women 18 years and over and will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 7:30 pm at Congregation Beth Sholom, 390 Broadway, Lawrence, NY. A dessert reception with the actress will follow. Suggested donation is $18.
