Cold Read Festival: Milk
Syracuse Stage

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Milk by Central New York playwright Zizi Majid.

Sofia, a Syrian woman who whilst on a makeshift iron vessel on the Mediterranean Sea, meets Sarah, a woman from South Sudan who's similarly seeking a better life. Sofia confides her deepest wishes as she considers returning to her home in Syria and a future life with a partner of her own choosing. Milk is a play written as an empathetic response to the global migration crisis.

Reading will be immediately followed by a talkback with the playwright and director.
