DNAWORKS

DREAMING EMMETT by Toni Morrison, produced in 1985 and then abandoned, opens as a young Emmett Till invites the people associated with his death to a liminal, dream-like space. From there the world of the play spins until it is revealed that he is not Till, but another Black youth who has been killed in an act of brutality and whose story has been lost. DNAWORKS will use its devised, ensemble-building approach to develop this timely and forgotten work, including our unique community story-circles to promote inter and intra-group understanding and healing.
