InterAct Theatre Company (Philadelphia, PA) presents the World Premiere production of IN A DAUGHTER'S EYES. Written by A. Zell Williams. Directed by Rebecca Wright. Featuring Lynnette R. Freeman & Krista Apple. Video and editing by Thiasus Films.
Winner of the National New Play Network's 2011 Smith Prize, which recognizes the year's best new political play, In A Daughter's Eyes is an intense and timely new drama inspired by the true story of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. Set in Oakland, CA around the turn of the millennium, In A Daughter's Eyes follows the fictional story of two daughters -- one the child of a Black Panther revolutionary and the other of the white police officer he allegedly shot and killed twenty years earlier. Though these two strong-minded women are initially brought together in search of truth, their views on culture, class, and race push them into an uneasy world of violence and mistrust. Locked in the battle that has defined their families' legacies for decades, these quintessentially American daughters must fight to find a balance between justice and forgiveness.
On stage May 27 -- June 19, 2011.
