The recently widowed “Mother of America” lies helpless in her Mount Vernon bed, ravaged by illness and attended to by the very enslaved people who are free the moment she dies. The form-shifting fever dream that follows takes us deep into the ugly, uncomfortable and thorny ramifications of America’s original sin.

“…Miz Martha” runs April 2 – May 17 in Steppenwolf’s Downstairs Theatre. For more information visit https://www.steppenwolf.org/
