When We Were Young and Unafraid at MU Theatre

When We Were Young and Unafraid by Sarah Treem is a gripping, heartfelt drama set in the early 1970s—before the word “shelter” meant safety for women in danger. Agnes, a no-nonsense innkeeper with a secret, quietly oers refuge to survivors of domestic violence. But when a battered young woman arrives with fierce defiance and a complicated past, the household is turned upside down. As generations clash and secrets unravel, each woman must confront what it really means to feel safe, to be strong, and to chart her own future. This powerful play is both a tribute to quiet revolutionaries and a call to courage.
