I recently learned about a play coming to Minneapolis for the first time called “I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me by a Young Lady From Rwanda” by Sonja Linden. The play depicts the life of Juliette, a survivor of the genocide in Rwanda, who moves to London and befriends a local poet. Together they are able to tell the powerful and inspiring tale of Juliette’s experiences amidst the horrors of the Rwandan genocide.

"a stirring tale of human bravery in the face of adversity.” Los Angeles Review
Juliette is a survivor of the genocide in Rwanda, now trying to survive a hostile and unfamiliar life in London. She has written a book about the genocide and hopes Simon, a struggling poet and author can help her get it published. Through awkward language barriers and cultural gaps, they don't know quite what to do with their blossoming friendship or with Juliette's writing, until they unlock the poetry of her personal experience. Winner of the Time Out London Critic Choice Award™, this play reminds us of the incredible power of the written word and how from time to time, we need a nudge to see the horrific and the glorious in the world.
