Activist Love Story This Bitter Earth

Neil is a handsome, wealthy white man who is a passionate advocate for civil rights. Jesse is an introspective black playwright coming to terms with his own activism. As racial tensions mount with the extrajudicial killings of black men throughout the country, the young couple is forced to contend with the politics of their love. This Bitter Earth, poetically written by Harrison David Rivers, is a timely story that's a haunting reminder of the strength it takes to love out loud. See it in St. Paul at Penumbra Theatre.
