Winner of the prestigious Oppenheimer Award for Best New Playwright 1998.
An African-American graduate student is transported back through time, with his 189-year-old grandfather, to Nat Turner's infamous slave rebellion. This stunning debut play by a young black writer is a powerful metaphorical investigation into the scars of repression on both race and homosexuality in America.
'A wild, thrilling ride down one of history's darkest, scariest corridors. Robert O'Hara employs a language of wicked wit, of deliberate and immensely provocative outrageousness to speak a vast, bloody, unapproachable outrage' - Tony Kushner
