Nat Turner: Following Faith, Paula Neiman’s nigh three-hour-long play (with intermission), attempts to fill the gaps in what knowledge we may have about this historic personage, dramatizing the events of record and adding a conjectured account of Nat’s (Tarnue Massaquoi) relationships with his mom, grandmother, father, followers and wife.
The play aims to remind us of the terribleness of slavery and to zero in on the irony of a man of faith who, driven by cruelty and injustice, champions horrendous acts.
Now running through Dec. 6.
