A radical examination of the power of spectatorship and the pressure of destructive preconceptions, Jackie Sibblies Drury's 2019 Pulitzer prize-winner Fairview is a searing meta-theatrical interrogation of the white gaze, performance, and the subjectivity of the audience.
I'm not doing a German accent You aren't doing an African accent We aren't doing accents A group of actors gather to tell the little-known story of the first genocide of the twentieth century. As the full force of a horrific past crashes into the good intentions of the present, what seemed a far-away place and time is suddenly all too close to home. Just whose story are they telling? Pulitzer award-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury collides the political with the personal in a play that is irreverently funny and seriously brave. We Are Proud To Present . . . received its European premiere at the Bush Theatre, London, in February 2014.
