Slaughter City
by Naomi Wallace
UC Berkeley, 2009
Director: Catherine Ming T鈥檌en Duffly
Slaughter City shows the realities of labor and the laboring body. Playwright Naomi Wallace uses poetic realism to weave a tale of struggle and hope, presenting a deeply human story that addresses the lives and loves of the men and women behind the meat we eat.
Naomi Wallace鈥檚 labor play鈥� has never seemed more timely, and the production offered by UC Berkeley鈥檚 theater department, directed by Catherine Ming T鈥檌en Duffly, sports expansive and powerful aural and visual landscapes鈥� [and] truly compelling acting from its student cast.鈥�
鈥� Robert Avila, San Francisco Bay Guardian
[Kate] took a difficult text and embraced it with real imagination and craft.鈥�
鈥� Tony Taccone, Artistic Director, Berkeley Repertory Theatre
