Until the Flood Moves to Bēma
After a successful run at Langham Court Theatre, Until the Flood moves to Bēma Productions located at Congregation Emanu-El, 1461 Blanshard Street.
Playwright: Dael Orlandersmith
Director: Tony Cain, with Assistant Director Rosemary Jeffrey
Co-production with Attitude Theatre and Bēma Productions
This is a compassionate and provocative play written in response to the 2014 shooting death of a young black man Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, by a white police officer. It is the culmination of numerous interviews conducted in the St. Louis area by the playwright in the aftermath of the shooting. The characters are composites of the actual citizens interviewed, reflecting diverse perspectives, and the play illuminates the impact that a single tragic event can have on an individual and the broader community.
Warning: graphic and racist language is used throughout this play, with some possible triggering scenes describing physical abuse and violence
