By Ernest Kearney — On December 21, 1988 a bomb exploded on Pan Am Flight 103 over the town of Lockerbie, Scotland. All 259 souls, aboard, died in the crash—which also claimed the lives of 11 on the ground.
The Women of Lockerbie, by Deborah Brevoort, does not address the crash or those responsible, but examines the suffering and grief of those left behind.
Set in Scotland on the seventh anniversary of the crash, Brevoort approaches the event as a Greek Tragedy, with an American mother wildly searching the Scottish hills for some trace of her child who was lost in the disaster.
Director Jim Blanchette presents this drama on a suitably stark stage (a tip of the hat to set designer Carrie Ackerman). His cast serves the drama excellently, especially Alan Heitz as the distraught father of a lost child who is on the verge of losing his wife to grief.
For solid and superior staging, a GOLD MEDAL.
