About the Show
Lali and Beng are held captive. No one knows where they’ve been taken or if they’re alive. Or, maybe their story has been broadcast to the world? A story about intimacy, surrender, and the will to live.

Don't see it if You are queasy with body issues.
See it if Miller's hard, clinical, haunting look at life in captivity Performed in the round by two compelling actresses, audience is captive as well
Don't see it if Dramatically, It's slow, tedious & inscrutable, just like their imprisonment It's also the reward of its existential Beckett-like appeal
See it if you are interested in how extremely cruel incarceration erodes the human psyche—& in what can survive such an ordeal.
Don't see it if scenes in which characters undergo intense psychic discomfort are too much for you to bear. Read more
See it if concerned about journalists & others held as political prisoners & their conditions, how captives try to stay sane & are tormented
Don't see it if frightened by issues of captivity & hopelessness, especially if it is two women depicted, don't like horrific conditions displayed
See it if interested in how 2 women cope with confinement in every sense of the word; a political theatre take on Beckett's "I can't go on I'll go on"

"'2 Women in a Cell, Grasping for Sanity in ‘No One Is Forgotten.’ This play, a response to the rise in the deaths of journalists, is a reminder that imprisonment can happen to anyone."

★★★★ "Miller...injects the proceedings with a Beckettian timelessness. This could be anywhere; they could be anyone...Leaving their vanity at the stage door, Friedman and Hayon are harrowing in physically and psychologically demanding roles."

"'Two Imprisoned Women Cling to Their Memories in No One Is Forgotten.' Winter Miller's terrifying two-hander makes its world premiere."

"This two women in an unnamed foreign country prison cell scenario is a shakily hollow mélange of Genet, Beckett and Pinter. The dialogue is well-shaped, but it comes across as an artificial exercise containing moments of engaging clarity rather than a fully realized play."

"The harrowingly good play, 'No One is Forgotten,' written and directed by the focused And brilliant Winter Miller...elevated to the level of defiant insurgence watching the two actors stand up to the heavens and the heaviness of the unknown simply by stayed alive...the two rebels struggle to hold on to their senses, even as they lose track of the time and their precarious situation... They exercise their bodies and their brains with an intensity worthy of the heroic incarcerated creatures that they have become,..Their entanglement with each other resonates. Miller has created a piece that ricochets with unsettling power...One I hope we all see, hear, and heed."
