MONUMENTS is a 3 part play that champions care and community in the face of unyielding oppression. The play puts us in the room with Lucy, Anarcha and Betsey, three enslaved Black women who endured un-anesthetized experimentation at the hands of the “father” of gynecology, J. Marion Sims. The play inverts the legacy of of Sims and illuminates the neglected history of the largely unnamed multitude of Black women whose pain shaped the foundation of modern medicine.
