A Matter of Perspective

Performance Dates
-

Sit inside the jury room - Eight people come together to deliberate the guilt or innocence of a young black man arrested by two white police officers. Their divergent perspectives uncover deeply-rooted prejudices, exposing a broken American justice system that stares hatred right in the face. Is Justice Blind? Race and racism is a compelling subject and the human experience is shared from all different points of view. Race, gender, cultural and religious beliefs examined through the art of storytelling is social commentary - political 'grit', cathartic and transformative.
