A HOUSE WITH NO WALLS
A Drama by Thomas Gibbons
A National New Play Network World Premiere
Directed by Lois Roach
October 24 – November 18, 2007
" It will start dialogue – and that’s why we do theater.” – The Denver Post
Last seen in our reading series, New Voices @ New Rep, Thomas Gibbons’ new play comes to the Mosesian Theater as a part of an NNPN World Premiere. The grounds of George Washington’s presidential home erupt into an emotional minefield when two opposing African-American politicos weigh in on how to honor both American liberty and the memory of the nine slaves who lived in the eight-by-eight foot square quarters on site. Their debate is juxtaposed against the experience of Ona Judge, one of President Washington’s slaves, whose quest for freedom came at a great price. Based on real events, A House With No Walls exposes a modern challenge of successful African-Americans while revealing still-hidden prejudices.
