Social Creatures

Synopsis:
I just thought that, you know, if something like this happened - I thought we would be different. From Brooklyn-based playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury comes this dark and funny exploration of what happens when a group of anonymous strangers isolates themselves from a nameless danger in the outside world in an effort to preserve a sense of civil society. But who do you trust when fear and survival are your only rules?

We Are Proud To Present A Presentation About the Herero Of Namibia, Formerly Known As South-West Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884-1915

We Are Proud To Present A Presentation About the Herero Of Namibia, Formerly Known As South-West Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884-1915
I'm not doing a German accent You aren't doing an African accent We aren't doing accents. A group of actors gather to tell the little-known story of the first genocide of the twentieth 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 collides the political with the personal in a play that is irreverently funny and seriously brave.
