Women of Lockerbie

'Pan Am Flight 103 was last seen in a fireball over Scotland’ - LynchPin Theatre returns to Petersfield Museum with a reading of the acclaimed play The Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort.

It is exactly seven years after the deadliest terrorist attack in Britain: the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie. Bereaved American couple Maddie and Bill visit the Scottish town for the first time in a bid to finally put the past behind them.
 
The women of Lockerbie have set up the Laundry Project - they want to wash the 11000 items of clothing belonging to the victims that are still being held in a warehouse as forensic evidence and return them to the victims’ families - an act of love and purification. But the US Government is proving uncooperative.
 
At midnight on the 21st December 1995 these stories collide with pathos compassion and humour in this powerful script. ‘Hatred will not have the last word in Lockerbie.’
 
‘Who would have thought that a group of actors dressed in black sitting in a semi-circle on a bare stage could make a play reading so dramatic so riveting and almost unbearably moving?’ Hugh Steadman Williams playwright
 
‘A beautifully constructed and nuanced exploration of grief - a play of utmost subtlety and depth.’ Marina Cantacuzino The Forgiveness Project
