Winner of the Audience Award and Runner Up for Best Play at the Downtown Urban Theater Festival (New York City)!
Production
Based on a true story of a young lesbian who fled Uganda to escape death at the hands of her own family, Asylum is a dramatic recount of one woman's journey through tender moments of exploration and self-definition to a horrific series of consequential events; a vivid display of extraordinary courage and an unyielding will to live.
Absolutely riveting...If Cheril Clarke never writes another play, (though I hope she writes many more) this one effort will ensure her a place in theater history.

"ASYLUM
is fearless. The play is
not afraid
of its sexuality;
not afraid
to make bold statements about a male-dominated society in Uganda...not afraid
to stand up for what is right. It is honest and earnest.
ASYLUM
is unapologetic and incredibly human. It is the loud shout of an artist that we need to address a massive injustice happening in our world, in our own time."

It is a piercing story, revealing real-life consequences and survival.
