FIRES IN THE MIRROR
480 West 42nd Street at The Pershing Square Signature Center
Time: various times (October 22 – December 8, 2019)
Price: $35 & up
There are three sides to every story: yours, mine and the truth. Following the deaths of a Black American boy and a young Orthodox Jewish scholar in the summer of 1991, underlying racial tensions in the nestled community of Crown Heights erupted into civil outbreak. Fires in the Mirror was Anna Deavere Smith’s groundbreaking response. Birthed from a series of interviews with over fifty members of the Jewish and Black communities, the Drama Desk award-winning work translated their voices verbatim, and in the process revolutionized the genre of documentary theatre. As much provocation as it is exploration, this landmark play launches Anna Deavere Smith’s Residency 1 at Signature. Signature is excited to work with Anna Deavere Smith to reimagine this play for new performers and collaborators.
