Brava Studio Sessions presents a staged reading of An American Ma(u)l by Robert O'Hara.
Robert O'Hara's scathing and hilarious political satire about the creeping return of enslavement in the 21st Century is eerily timely and insightful. The play opens with America on the brink of economic disaster but the newly-elected President has a plan! Eli Whitney IV has invented a new cotton, a cotton crop that will save America and one that must be hand-picked, and the newly elected prez knows just who to press into service to pick it!
Robert O'Hara is an accomplished playwright and director. His play Antebellum won the 2010 Helen Hayes for Outstanding Play and is published in two anthologies. His play Insurrection: Holding History, had its World Premiere (directed by O'Hara) at the New York Shakespeare Festival and a West Coast Premiere at American Conservatory Theatre. The piece received the Oppenheimer Award for Best New American Play and was subsequently published by both TCG and Dramatist Play Service. His play Etiquette of Vigilance was produced in the Steppenwolf First Look Festival and ACT/Zeum recently produced his play, Good Breeding. As a director, O'Hara received an OBIE Award for his direction of the World Premiere of the critically acclaimed In The Continuum at Primary Stages.
