TOAST is an electrifying new play by acclaimed poet/playwright Lemon Andersen, directed by Andersen's County of Kings collaborator Elise Thoron. A Public Theater commission first presented at The Public's Under the Radar Festival, TOAST ingeniously weaves major characters from black oral narratives into a gripping story about a group of inmates fighting to keep their minds free amidst the 1971 riots that rocked Attica Prison.
