benevolence

Penumbra Theatre
270 N. Kent St St. Paul

Ifa Bayeza's benevolence makes its world premiere at Penumbra Theatre in St. Paul. A small, segregated town is turned upside down when fate brings a young boy from Chicago to a candy counter in Money, Mississippi. The second play in Bayeza's powerful trilogy about Emmett Till, benevolence is a haunting, unforgettable portrait of the collateral damage surrounding a case that gained international attention and sparked the civil rights movement. Penumbra produced Bayeza's award-winning The Ballad of Emmett Till in 2014 to critical acclaim, and now proudly presents this second chapter.
