Provocatuer Thomas Bradshaw returns to The Flea, revisiting his incendiary 2008 play Southern Promises in a new production helmed by Artistic Director, Niegel Smith.

On his deathbed, a plantation owner vows to set his slaves free, but his wife rejects the request and chaos soon erupts on the plantation. Based on slave narratives and featuring an all PoC company of actors, Southern Promises is a brilliant examination of the deeply disturbing and utterly corrupting power of American slavery and its lasting grip on our country's hearts and institutions.

The Flea ends its Color Brave Season bringing this haunting reality onto the stage
