Reviews

  • "Without breaking the fourth wall, the production is able to include the audience in a way that simply wouldn't work in a bigger space. The entire creative team did a masterful job of using the space to their utmost advantage." — BroadwayWorld (PDF)
  • "Set designer Chris Bernier and director Eric Woodall's nimble production concept lends an added measure of intimacy to Kennedy Theater by moving the performance area closer to the front rows and placing audience banks along the left and right sides of the stage. The latter stratagem makes the audience look like jury members during climactic courtroom scenes." — Indy Week (PDF)
  • "Throughout, Eric Woodall’s direction proves flawless. The scenes flow smoothly from one to the next, keeping audiences rapt." — Triangle Arts and Entertainment (PDF)
Synopsis
This regional premiere for the Triangle tells the tragic, true story of the trial and lynching of a man wrongly accused of murder. Winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Best Book and Best Score, its subject matter offers a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten.
