UTNT (UT New Theatre Presents The Silent Woman

Written by Lydia Blaisdell, The Silent Woman is the strange, true tale of a painter living with an effigy of his ex-lover in 1919 Europe. Because the doll cannot dress herself, the painter enlists a young maid to help him, resulting in an intricate, erotic game of pretend. The Silent Woman is the winner of the 2015 Kentucky Women’s Playwriting Prize.

Produced by The University of Texas at Austin, The Silent Woman is part of UTNT (UT New Theatre), an annual showcase of newly developed works for the American stage from playwrights of the university’s master of fine arts in playwriting program. UTNT (UT New Theatre) was established in 2007 by renowned playwright Steven Dietz.
