Franklin Stage Company presents staged readings of a new play by Kyle Bass titled The Civilities, running from September 12 to 14. Set in Ithaca, New York, in 1936, the play follows Blessah Hart, a young Black graduate student at Cornell, and M. Silas Jackson, an elderly white Confederate veteran, as they navigate the complexities of history, race, and personal connections. As Blessah uncovers layers of Silas's past, both characters confront a shared history marked by bondage and bloodshed. Directed by Gilbert McCauley, this exploration of heritage and truth offers a thought-provoking dialogue on civility and the narratives shaped by history and literature.
