Yerevan, 1937. Armenian writer and activist Zabel Yessayan sits in a

Soviet prison cell, awaiting execution. But what exactly is her crime?

Writing novels? Knowing how to speak French? Being a woman? As Zabel confronts her captors, past and present blur, and she reckons with the injustices she has witnessed and confronted—from schoolyard bullying to the horrors of genocide. Zabel in Exile is a searing memory play that honors the strength of a woman unafraid to stand up to tyranny and wrestles with whether it is possible to continue to believe in light during times of endless darkness.

Opening Night: February 19, 2026

Closing Night: March 8, 2026
