Dominique Morisseau's most radical play yet follows two Black women living more than a century apart as they struggle to define freedom for themselves.
Confederates tells the story of two women in what at first appear to be radically different circumstances. Sara is an enslaved rebel ferrying information from the plantation to Union soldiers. Sandra is a political science professor fighting the patriarchy at a predominantly white university. As the play progresses, the line between the past and present blurs, raising questions about how far we have come since 1865-and how far we still have to go.
In Morisseau's words, I don't believe in the inhumanity of the enslaved. This play delves into serious themes with a satirical tone, juxtaposing humor and sexuality alongside pain and struggle. Confederates is an ambitious work by one of America's most exciting playwrights.
