As the first play with an all-black and female creative cast and team to premiere on Broadway, Gurira’s
Eclipsed
–nominated for 6 Tonys–tells the story of five Liberian women near the end of the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003.
“This play is not only the first to feature an all-female cast, author, and director,”
says
Eclipsed
star Nyong’o,
“but it is also very explicitly about five women brought together by the perils of war. It’s one of the most emotionally exhausting and spiritually rewarding experiences of my life.”
