Synopsis
A striking new ensemble drama based on the Jena Six; six Black students who were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after being provoked with nooses hanging from a tree on campus.
This bold new play by Dominique Morisseau ( Sunset Baby , Detroit '67 , Skeleton Crew ) examines the miscarriage of justice, racial double standards, and the crises in relations between men and women of all classes and, as a result, the shattering state of Black family life.
