The rugged hillside of Theatricum Botanicum’s outdoor stage, located at 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Topanga, is a fitting stand-in for the wild moors of rural Scotland where Deborah Brevoort’s powerful, poetic and uplifting drama is set. Inspired by a true story, The Women of Lockerbie is a stunning tribute to the triumph of love over hate.
A mother from New Jersey roams the hills of Lockerbie Scotland, looking for her son’s remains which were lost in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. There, she meets the women of Lockerbie who are fighting the U.S. Government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane’s wreckage. Determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, the women want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the bereaved families.
