"A very brave piece of writing" Ed Shockley The play is the tale of Onda, the study of a young girl’s quest for the right man and her own truth, and the changing aspirations and power of women in the last 20 years. The play begins right after the fall of communism and ends 15 years later in New York, tracking Onda’s life in three acts, every seven years, from 1990 to 1997 to 2005. The author makes a parallel study of the ‘moment zero’ in the life of a young woman and that of a brand new post-communist society, and all the trouble that follows. The play revolves around the dynamic between Onda and her changing choices as a woman: innocence (in the first act), lust and sin (in the second act), redemption and staying true to herself regardless of what that my cost (in the third act.) The plot is driven by Onda’s love choices and her relationship with Paul, her conventional rich husband, Keev, her eccentric lover, Jack, her best friend, and Sam, her alter ego in New York. The play also explores the power, traps, and limits of Beauty, which ultimately is in the eye of the beholder.
