Knot.: A Ritual Play In Five Movements - Paperback

by Laurie S. Sherman (Author)

Some stories unravel.

Others tighten-until they hold.

KNOT. is a braided work of voice, memory, and meaning-part ritual text, part dramatic meditation, part feminist midrash for our fractured moment. Written to be read, spoken, staged, or lived with, these pieces do not explain themselves away. They insist. They bind past to present, silence to speech, wound to witness.

Drawing from Jewish tradition, women's voices across time, and the lived tension between inheritance and resistance, KNOT. asks what it means to remain tied-to history, to conscience, to one another-without being strangled by what no longer serves.

This is a book for readers who linger.

For performers and directors seeking language with muscle and mercy.

For study groups, ritual leaders, classrooms, and anyone who believes words can still make a circle strong enough to stand in.

KNOT does not loosen the thread.

It teaches us how to hold.
