Public Reading
April 29 at 7pm
@ alchemical studios - 50 W 17th St 12th fl.
Join us at 7pm for a reading of THE KIT: MADE BY MARTHA, written by Jeanne Dorsey and directed by Jackson Gay.
Cast Includes Julie Boyd, Helen Cespedes, Chris Coffey, Lou Liberatore, Francesca Fernandez McKenzie, Ginny Mitchell, Maria-Christina Oliveras, and Shawn Randall. With expert stage manager Violet Woundy.
The Kit: Made by Martha explores the life and work of Martha Goddard, inventor of the first standardized rape kit.
While working a crisis hotline for runaway teenage girls in 1972 Chicago, Goddard ponders the question of how rape could be investigated as a real crime rather than a made-up story. At a time when sexual violence in America was rarely prosecuted, her innovative thinking sets her on a path to create a powerful scientific procedure that could transform criminal forensics and bring justice to countless victims of sexual assault.
Jeanne Dorsey's play deftly weaves Goddard's obsession with crafting miniatures (like those Goddard saw at the Art Institute) and her journey through the gritty world of sex crimes, the Chicago PD, a surprising alliance with Hugh Hefner's Playboy Foundation, and her own rape later in life which she ironically never reported.
THE KIT: MADE BY MARTHA is a powerful reminder that even when we are flawed and seemingly unremarkable, we are still capable of changing the world.
