OVERVIEW
In 1831, Nat Turner led a slave uprising that has been credited by some with accelerating the onset of the Civil War. While he was in prison awaiting his execution, Turner dictated his story to attorney Thomas Gray, and it was published as “The Confessions of Nat Turner, the leader of the late insurrection in Southampton, VA.” In Nathan Alan Davis’ 2016 play Nat Turner in Jerusalem, Turner's final night in jail is reimagined in a meditation on past deeds and future repercussions that The New York Times called “an earnest, gravely lyrical gloss on a document that will surely always evoke passionate and widely different responses.”
Contains adult themes & language. Please contact the Box Office at 608-588-2361, or email boxoffice@americanplayers.org for specifics.
Featuring: Gavin Lawrence, Jim DeVita
