The Ruminants
Written by Dipti Bramhandkar
With only weeks left in her senior year, Bekka questions whether she has done enough to make a difference for animal rights at her university. She is president of Animal Rights Now (ARN) and has organized numerous protests, but nothing seems to change. With her legacy on the line, she plans to take action in a way no one can ignore, but what will the cost be for those who join her and for those she tries to help? The Ruminants is a new play that explores protest, privilege, legacy, and a talking rabbit.
The Ruminants is being developed as part of The Farm Theatre’s College Collaboration project.
