I and The Village Summary

I and The Village by Silva Semerciyan

So maybe I just want to opt out you know? Maybe I don't to be part of the master plan. The big assembly line in the sky. Summer in small-town America. Aimee Stright wants to be Banksy in a town that hates vandals. As outsiders investigate what happened on the day she walked into a church with a gun, it seems Aimee is one against the world and the world wants to know why. Shortlisted for the Bruntwood Playwriting Prize, I And The Village is a coming-of-age story that asks pointed questions about conformity, dissent and America's devotion to guns. The play received its world premiere at Theatre503, London, on 9 June 2015.

I and The Village Reviews

It's that rarest of things - a genuinely emotionally engaging dilemma play, blooming into a funny, full-hearted exploration of cultural relativism, moral absolutes and the plurality of womanhood. * The Stage on 'Gather Ye Rosebuds' *
Silva Semerciyan's 'I and The Village' is a confident look at gun culture in the USA. . . . The way that Aimee's community chose to bury their responsibility for the deaths that bloody the church is a powerful metaphor for America's blinkeredness to the violence resulting from their right to keep and bear arms. . . . Semerciyan's dialogue zings . . . this individual story carries universal weight. * Time out London *
