The inspiration and setting are based on the Colonial era, but the theme is relevant today. Check out the riveting production of The Most Spectacularly Lamentable Trial of Miz Martha Washington by James Ijames and directed by Brett Ashley Robinson. The play depicts the United States’ first First Lady on her deathbed. Martha Washington is put on trial by the enslaved people who will be freed after her death. The interpretation, featuring this hallucinatory fever dream, has been described as “a raucous and real reckoning” created by Pulitzer Prize winner Ijames and the Wilma’s Hothouse Acting Company. The satire looks candidly at racism and power from America’s birth.
