Show information:
“every tongue confess”
by Marcus Gardley
directed by Kenny Leon
November 9, 2010 – January 2, 2011 in the Kogod Cradle
In the backwater town of Boligee, Alabama, the summer heat is rising higher, driving the townsfolk to distraction and conjuring the spirits of the past to walk the earth. Wrapped in the combustible music of a Deep South juke joint and the sweat-soaked gospel of a revivalist church tent, intergenerational stories of loss and redemption collide. Playwright Gardley blends ancient myth with magical realism, Biblical allegory with the local TV news to create a fiery theatrical furnace in which some will be saved, some will be purged and the truth cannot escape.
Date: November 9, 2010-January 2, 2011
Time: check calendar on website for performance times
Location: Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater: 1101 6th Street SW Washington, DC 20024
