A group of actors gather to tell the little-known story of the first genocide of the 20th Century. As the full force of a horrific past crashes into the good intentions of the present, what seemed a far away place and time is suddenly all too close to home.

Just whose story are they telling?

Award-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury is an African American woman whose star is massively on the rise in the States; she writes plays that are powerful and brave (and very funny!) We at the Bush Theatre feel privileged to be bringing her work to the UK and staging her European debut, which will be directed by the talented director Gbolahan Obesisan.
