Little Row Boat or, Conjecture (staged reading)

  • Cleveland Playhouse 1407 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH, 44115 United States (map)

As the French Revolution brews outside, teenage slave Sally Hemings gets her first taste of freedom while serving in Thomas Jefferson’s Paris home. Inside, she becomes involved in one of the most speculated about and scandalous relationships in American history. With verve, humor, and music, playwright Kirsten Greenidge imagines how events unfolded in the Jefferson household for the family and "servants" alike. Little Row Boat is a visceral and intricate story of convictions, contradictions, and sacrifice in the pursuit of liberty.

Presented by Cleveland Playhouse.
