Confederates

CONFEDERATES by Dominque Morisseau is a play telling the lives of two Black women 160 years apart encountering the same quest for freedom, and they struggle to overcome gender bias, and colonized institutions. Both women embark to sustain overt and covert oppressions that attempt to marginalize and suppress their greatness. Charles Burk director states, “In directing this play, I am exploring how actors exhibit the direct effects of telling the story of how racism challenges interpersonal and professional relationships. Treachery, risk and a woman’s importance all play a part in maneuvering their time periods.”
