The Whipping Man at Kitchen Theatre Company

Authors

• Matthew Lopez

In the aftermath of the Civil War, three men are at a crossroads—a Jewish Confederate soldier who has returned from battle, and two former slaves, who were raised as Jews in his household. As the three men reunite to celebrate Passover, they uncover a tangle of secrets that might cost each man his freedom. An extraordinary tale of loyalty, deceit and deliverance, this critically-praised sensation sold out at Manhattan Theatre Club before performances began.
