Strange Courtesies

World Premiere

February 27 - March 3, 2021

TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

A virtual World Premiere in collaboration with African-American Shakespeare Company.

Citizens of South Africa are confronting a painful past of the apartheid era through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. STRANGE COURTESIES explores the potential restorative power of truth telling, the significance of sympathetic witnesses, and the tasks of both perpetrators and bystanders in the TRC process. Can dignity be restored to victims and their families while offering a basis for individual healing, and promoting the reconciliation of a divided society?

Presented in Association with African-American Shakespeare Company
