'Stunning, unflinching, poignant' ***** (DCTheaterArts.org). Direct from its sell-out world premiere season in Washington DC! Priyanka Shetty's gripping docudrama is constructed from first-hand accounts, court transcripts, and news reports, capturing the aftermath of the 2017 Unite the Right rally. It chronicles the violent clashes over the removal of a Confederate monument and explores how the town – and nation – grapple with white supremacy, drawing parallels to global nationalism. 'A masterclass in acting... riveting, change-making theatre at its best' ***** (StageBuddy.com).
