Production Language English
Country of Origin United States
Description Created in the vein of Whitney White’s Macbeth in Stride (commissioned by American Repertory Theater as the first in a series of works), this staged concert combines Shakespeare’s words with White’s original text and music. The title, taken from a passage attributed to Shakespeare, is one of the earliest known and most impassioned defenses of a compassionate refugee policy. The performance explores themes of immigration, borders, and crossings, and the celebration that unexpected human connections can ultimately bring. The presentation includes a conversation between Whitney White and Phyllida Lloyd. Part of Rolex Arts Weekend.
