Theater of War Presents A CHILDREN'S PLAY, 8/28
Director and playwright Christopher-Rashee' Stevenson's newest black comedy A CHILDREN'S PLAY opens at the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute/Cultural Center on August 28.
The piece concerns Mother, Father, and Grandmother, a family of the "upper class" set in an unnamed place. The family invites a young woman to their home for dinner with the prospects of moving her in with her husband and new child. What she finds lurking beneath her three hosts smiles becomes something altogether more sinister and savage by the play's strange finale. A nightmarish satire interweaving music, wordplay, and deadly power games.
Christopher-Rashee' Stevenson's freelance work has been active since 2007. Other works including OTHELLO & IAGO, THE NEGRO SPEAKS OF RIVERS, WAY OF RAIN, [OTHELLO, THE WASTELAND and THE PEASANTS OF NY], and most recently August Wilson's GEM OF THE OCEAN at Read Street Books. He helms his experimental theater troupe Theatre of War as well as SOUL Theater Ensemble with fellow actress Shayla Simmons.
A CHILDREN'S PLAY features Lynae Pindell, Marcus Downer, Sandra J. Meekins, and Shayla Simmons. The show will be presented on August 28 at 8PM Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute/Cultural Center. Admission is $5. For more information, please visit: www.eubieblake.org
