About the Show
March 8-31, 2024
Written by James Ijames, Directed by Pirronne Yousefzadeh
Ravaged by illness and cared for by the very slaves that will be free the moment she dies, Martha Washington’s fever dreams are haunted by a range of characters, from Queen Charlotte and George Washington, to a present-day trial lawyer, building up to reconnecting with family, legacy and broken promises. Written by Pulitzer winner James Ijames, this biting satire examines history’s impact on present-day systems.
The performance runs about 90 minutes, without an intermission. Content is for mature audiences. Learn + Do events featuring conversation with guests, activities and food follow the shows on March 10, 17, 24 and 31.
