The Ballad of Emmett Till
Fountain Theatre
( 02/11/2010 - 05/30/2010 )
CRITIC'S CHOICE - L.A. TIMES! A true story. The now legendary tale of Emmett Till ignited the start of the civil rights movement. This West Coast premiere directed by Shirley Jo Finney, part history and part ghost story, is a poetic/lyrical/folk integration of past and present, the living and dead, factual accounts and storytelling. Chicago playwright Ifa Bayeza captures the powerful truths at the heart of the legend, creating a soaring work of music, poetic language and riveting theatricality.
