Elizabeth Swados Bücher

    Elizabeth Swados war eine amerikanische Schriftstellerin, Komponistin und Theaterregisseurin, deren Werke sich oft mit dunklen Themen wie Rassismus, Mord und psychischen Erkrankungen befassten. Sie nutzte satirischen Humor, um gesellschaftliche Probleme zu untersuchen, doch ihr Schreiben drang tiefer in psychologische Landschaften vor. Ihre Kreationen zeichnen sich durch rohe Ehrlichkeit und die Bereitschaft aus, komplexe menschliche Erfahrungen zu konfrontieren. Ihre persönlichen Kämpfe mit Depressionen enthüllte sie in ihrem autobiografischen Werk und bot den Lesern einen intimen Einblick in ihre künstlerische Perspektive.

      Runaways is a collection of songs dances and spoken word pieces performed by children who have run away from their homes. Initially created from interviews with homeless children and those in orphanages Liz Swados' unique piece weaves songs about personal struggle and the world at large through the eyes of youth in New York City in the '70s. The show blends different musical styles from pop to hip-hop and jazz to reggae while asking why children can't remain children. The licensed version of Runaways reflects the version performed by Encores in 2016.
