Blood at the Root by Dominique Morisseau and directed by Jackie Davis
December 13, 2021 @ 6:00 pm
FREE READING EVENT
ONE NIGHT ONLY
A striking new ensemble drama based on the Jena Six; six Black students who were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after being provoked with nooses hanging from a tree on campus. This bold new play by Dominique Morisseau (Sunset Baby, Detroit ’67, Skeleton Crew) examines the miscarriage of justice, racial double standards, and the crises in relations between men and women of all classes and, as a result, the shattering state of Black family life.
The first in a series of readings curated by Catia and Madison Cook-Hines as supplement to Burbage Theatre Co’s 10th Season.
