The Pasadena Playhouse (Pasadena, CA)
In Richmond, Virginia in the chaotic aftermath of the bloody Civil War, two newly-freed slaves and the son of their former master — a Jewish Confederate soldier — reunite to celebrate Passover. As the three men gather in the burnt-out remains of the Confederate soldier’s family home on the eve of a new chapter in the country’s history, they uncover a web of dangerous secrets from the past that threaten to destroy their bond. This provocative play, called “haunting, striking and powerful” by The New York Times, examines what it really means to be free. Stage and TV star Charlie Robinson (NBC’s Night Court) co-stars in this Obie Award-winning drama presented in association with South Coast Repertory.
