Songs of Freedom: Stairway to Heaven
"The world changes; I don't. The years go by, and I’m still looking perfect. With my golden hair, my golden clothes, with my golden smile."
This is the story of a perfect woman. Her whole life, she just followed the instructions society – and her mum – dictated to help her achieve a happy and successful life. "A perfect life."
But... was it perfect?
Away from her dreams and what she could have become if she'd had the chance to take decisions on her own, she's now recounting her story while she can remember it, alone with the shadows of her past, and listening to a song she listened to on the radio a long time ago, and that helped her to endure her life... because songs are a refuge for lost souls.
Stairway to Heaven is a one-woman show written and directed by Mexican Award-winning playwright Isabel Quiroz and performed by Thelma Osorio Euan.
This play is part of "Songs of Freedom" a series of monologues written by Isabel Quiroz where each story entitled after a song, gives voice to a silenced character. Inspired in real life people.
