β¦ Synopsis
"American theater needs more plays like Naomi Wallace's The Liquid Plain --by which I mean works that are historical, epic and poetic, that valorize the lives of the poor and oppressed."--Time Out New York
On the docks of late eighteenth-century Rhode Island, two runaway slaves find love and a near-drowned man. With a motley band of sailors, they plan a desperate and daring run to freedom. As the mysteries of their identities come to light, painful truths about the past and present collide and flow into the next generation. Acclaimed playwright Naomi Wallace's newest work brings to life a group of people whose stories have been erased from history. Told with lyricism and power, The Liquid Plain was awarded the 2012 Horton Foote Prize for Promising New American Play.
