A Rebel Prayer at NYU
Rachel Rhodes-Devey
Rachel participated in a reading of A Rebel Prayer by Eloise Govedare and Aleksandra Weil, NYU Graduate Musical Theatre Writing students. Based in Putin’s modern day Russia, A Rebel Prayer is a musical about 13 year old Nikita whose father was murdered for his political views. When Nikita finds a mask resembling that of Russian punk collective Pussy Riot, she begins a fantastical journey of empowerment and rebellion. In the course of her journey, she discovers the truth about her father’s death, and must decide whether freedom should be defended, at any cost.
