THE ROAD THEATRE COMPANY celebrates Black History Month with an encore stream presentation of THIS BITTER EARTH, written by Harrison David Rivers and directed by Gregg T. Daniel.
Recorded live on February 27, 2021 in North Hollywood, California, THIS BITTER EARTH follows Jesse (Matthew Hancock), an introspective black playwright, who finds his choices called into question when his boyfriend, Neil (Chase Cargill), a white Black Lives Matter activist, calls him out for his political apathy. As passions and priorities collide, this couple is forced to reckon with issues of race, class and the bravery it takes to love out loud.
