This Nashville Premiere production takes Harriet Beecher Stowe's abolitionist novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and spins it on its ear. Old stereotypes get to meet their creator, as Uncle Tom, Topsy and Eliza put Harriet Beecher Stowe on trial for not only perpetuating negative stereotypes but also for failing to "get their story right." In this play these same stereotypes reinvent themselves, while the story gets updated from their own Afrocentric perspective in such a way that it not only retains the story's original power, but also draws sharp parallels on matters of race between yesterday and today.
PARENTAL ADVISORY: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE AND GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNG CHILDREN.
