No Candy
By Emma Stanton

At the center of No Candy is a multi–‐generational community of Bosnian Muslim women who run a gift shop near the Srebrenica massacre memorial. The play follows how each woman copes, privately and publicly, with the trauma she experienced during the war: she dreams of Julie Andrews, she sings grunge music at karaoke bars, she dresses drag in her father’s clothes. While No Candy is very much about how trauma inhabits the body and shapes a community, it is also about the persistence of humor, art, and absurdity in an unimaginable time.
