"Those who see the Nile when it surges, tremble, the meadows laugh,and the riverbanks are inundated."
~ From Pyramid Texts; Utterance 581
The opening lines of a beautiful story.
It is easier for me to tell you this story with a comb in my hand. That is how I remember her best, you see, for countless are the hours I spent as a young girl, combing and plaiting her hair.
What happens......when a woman risks losing her social status, her faith community, her family, and her life by standing up for what is right? Can anything good come from such an action? Are we the kind of people who strive for social justice at the risk of all we know and are familiar with? Does it matter what decisions we make on a day-to-day basis? The Protest of Pharaoh’s Daughter explores these questions as we hear the story as witnessed by the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s Daughter.....Starring Actress Claudia N. McCoy as the Pharaoh's Maid and Actress Nicole Fazio will be understudying the role.
