Thomas Bradshaw: A few of his notable plays include, Thomas and Sally which premiered at Marin Theater Company in September 2017 Carlyle which premiered at the Goodman Theatre as part of their 2015-16 season and Fulfillment which co-premiered at American Theater Company (Chicago) and The Flea Theater (New York) in fall 2015. *All tickets include an additional $2 Theater Restoration Fee, which keeps the lights on in our new digs. (Student rush is available for Flea produced shows only.) Student rush tickets are available 10 minutes prior to curtain for $10, based on availability and with a valid student ID. Please be advised, there is no late seating or re-entry. The Flea ends its Color Brave Season bringing this haunting reality onto the stage of The Sam.Ĭontent Warning: Please be advised there is physical and sexual violence, full nudity, racial slurs, and a gunshot in Southern Promises. Based on slave narratives and featuring an all PoC company of actors, Southern Promises is a brilliant examination of the deeply disturbing and utterly corrupting power of American slavery and its lasting grip on our country’s hearts and institutions. On his deathbed, a plantation owner vows to set his slaves free, but when his wife rejects the request chaos erupts on the plantation. Provocateur Thomas Bradshaw revisits his incendiary 2008 play Southern Promises in a new production helmed by The Flea’s Artistic Director, Niegel Smith.
