Yes, it is the longest play title ever – it’s the full text of a voicemail Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife recently left for Anita Hill, 20 years after her testimony at the confirmation hearings that brought her to national attention for her allegations of sexual harassment.
In this show Margolin asks “who are we at the moment we flip someone the bird; show the middle finger to a stranger? And what is tragedy? Is it possible
that one definition of tragedy involves the realization that, in order to address an oppressor, or seek redress from him successfully, we must descend to his level?” Here’s what happens when a middle-aged Jewish woman confronts her road rage at the 20-year-old intersection of young motherhood and the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings. With a fair amount of Bristol Palin tossed in.
Deb Margolin’s long awaited return to solo performance – and to the Ko Festival of Performance.
