When a storyteller summons Harriet Tubman from the past, one of America’s greatest heroines offers to divulge the details of her extraordinary life. As the storyteller portrays the diverse characters from her past, from Frederick Douglas to plantation owners, Harriet relives her humble beginnings with her family through the end of the Civil War. Though widely known for her unimaginable feats of courage, this play also explores the finer details of Harriet’s life, evoking her more nuanced messages of hope and faith in other people.
Recommended for audiences ages: 13+ due to moderate adult language, adult situations and violence. (Why did it get this rating?)
