Return to the Golden City was written in 2014 and produced as an online lockdown reading in 2020.
Set almost entirely in the refectory of a public centre in Israel, two couples meet – one Israeli, one Palestinian – at a Reconciliation Conference. Each couple has one willing participant and one conflicted participant. Through the process of ‘Sulha’ (meaning reconciliation), peace may be attained by the offering and accepting of three cups of coffee.
In 2020, when Vicki attended a Conflict Transformation Summit during the Covid lockdowns, an open invitation was offered to all participants. She was able to present her play, with the new online platform available, as an impromptu reading with four willing participants from around the world, Encouraged by those who saw it, Vicki spent the rest of the year filming this production as an online lockdown reading and creating an accompanying reconciliation workshop.
Vicki originally wrote the play after deciding to join the Frome Friends of Palestine to find her own reconciliation as a Jew. Throughout the summer of 2014 a whole sequence of events brought about the inspiration for this play which began as she awoke with scenes playing out in her mind. The next ten days Vicki sat and wrote the play as a continuous stream of consciousness. She soon realised that a song, ‘Sulha’ she had written ten years previously would also become the structure for this play.
”Vicki’s captivating folk voice, songwriting and gorgeous harp playing took us through her spiritual journey via a rainbow of songs and experiences. Each story took form in its own chakra, colour, and musical key – a structure so cleverly crafted that it looked easy. The evening was at once profound and delightful.
Frances Liardet, author.
Vicki’s Journey through the chakras, in spoken word and song, is a delightful interweaving of her personal story of a deep spiritual search for identity, incorporating her unique musicianship, expressed in song-writing and singing, accompanied by that most ethereal of instruments – the harp. I warmly recommend Crowning Eve – a celebration of the Divine Feminine.
