InterAct Theatre Company to Stream THIS BITTER EARTH

Philadelphia's InterAct Theatre Company will bring the live Philadelphia production of THIS BITTER EARTH to VIMEO from February 28 - March 13 2022. The live production started 1/28/22 and will end 2/20/22. THIS BITTER EARTH takes place in the memory of Jesse, a Black playwright who finds himself in a relationship with Neil, a white Black Lives Matter activist. As Jesse remembers Neil, the audience is brought on a journey of their relationship, and the birth of the American BLM movement.

"When I first read THIS BITTER EARTH," says InterAct Producing Artistic Director Seth Rozin, "I
was moved by its intelligence, nuance, poetry and humanity. Here is a rare play that both
interrogates and celebrates interracial, gay love better than any other play, book or movie I can
think of. And through the jumbled lens of memory, Harrison David Rivers manages to tell an
incredibly timely story."

Audiences can stream THIS BITTER EARTH by picking a streaming date between 2/28/22 -
3/13/22 at www.interacttheatre.org/this-bitter-earth. For more information or to subscribe,
