Description

Gie’s Peace sees Morna Burdon take audiences on a journey of courage, creativity and resilience as she highlights women worldwide who have found daring, inventive, courageous ways to rebel against war and take a stand for peace. Threaded through with songs and punctuated with humour, this moving and timely show also looks at how war affects those the women love. 'With her first song Morna Burdon plunges us straight into the brilliantly black humour with which women have creatively waged peace' **** (ScotsGayArts.com). 'Beautiful' (Artistic Director, Proenglish Theatre Co, Ukraine).

Morna is an exceptional writer/performer. Her research is impeccable and her storytelling a beautiful, funny and moving journey across generations and continents of the women’s peace movement through story and song. If there is one show you go to this year, make it GIE’S PEACE.
