MORE ABOUT THE BITTER EARTH

THIS BITTER EARTH by Harrison David Rivers

October 28 – November 12

A deep love is challenged by divisive political realities. Jesse, an introspective Black playwright, finds his choices called into question when his boyfriend, Neil, a white Black Lives Matter activist, calls him out for his political apathy. As passions and priorities collide, this couple is forced to reckon with issues of race, class, and the bravery it takes to love out loud.

Performances & Location: Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 3pm
Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center
927 Noyes St., Evanston 60201
