Truth on Trial: The Ballad of Sojourner Truth
Author(s):
Douglas W. Larche
This powerful and provocative play with music is centered around the life of Sojourner Truth, an illiterate former slave who fought for the causes of abolition, women's rights, temperance and evangelical Christianity all her life. A multiracial 19th-century ensemble acts in counterpoint to a contemporary group of academics in conflict over issues of race, gender and affirmative action. The Committee has been charged with naming an endowed Chair of Humane Letters for a significant "person of color" from their "region." In several startling and clarifying moments, the centuries collide as the play surges to life with the powerful oratory, songs, poetry and the delightful Mark Twain-like humor of Sojourner Truth. Area staging. Music in book.
