‘Stunning, unflinching, poignant’ ***** (DCTheaterArts.org)
In a gripping solo performance, Priyanka Shetty captures the aftermath of the 2017 Unite the Right rally. Utilizing first-hand accounts, court transcripts, news reports, and the unique voice of woman of Indian heritage, it powerfully chronicles the clashes over a Confederate monument, tiki-torch marchers, the shouting of “Jews will not replace us, its sad culmination, and the trials to bring its perpetrators to justice. #CHARLOTTESVILLE provides a snapshot-in-time of a town and nation grappling with the future of its soul.
“This powerful and intelligently written one-person show will continue to inform and remind the world of the dangers of white supremacy, antisemitism, and fascism… this very ambitious production should prove to be a durable mainstay of the theatrical canon.”
– David Friscic. (Broadway World)
‘A masterclass in acting… riveting, change-making theatre at its best’ *****
