“THE SUBMISSION is a raw, unsentimental play about race and gender that exposes the quiet prejudice and intolerance among even our most progressive thinkers. It is both uncomfortable and impossible to not watch." -Associated Press
Three Bone Theatre presents the Charlotte premiere of The Submission by Jeff Talbott, a fiercely funny and intelligent new comic drama about the words we use to describe each other -- and the things we'll do to get what we want.
Danny has written a complex new drama about an African-American family trying to get out of the Projects, and it has just been selected for the nation's preeminent play festival. Problem is: Danny, a young white playwright, submitted the work under a pen name in the hope of increasing its chances for production. So he hires Emilie, a black actress, to stand in for him as author. What starts as a terrible idea becomes more and more terrible as Danny drags Emilie, his boyfriend, and his best friend down a long and dirty path of truth, lies, revelation and betrayal.
August 17-19, 24-26 at 8:00pm
