In This Place
In This Place...
Written & Directed by Ain Gordon
Starring Michelle Hurst
1830: Samuel and Daphney Oldham are the first free African-Americans to build their own house in Lexington, KY. Five years later, they disappear. Now, award-winning artist Ain Gordon imagines the full story behind these bare facts as told from Daphney's perspective in a new one-woman play featuring Brooklyn’s own Michelle Hurst. In This Place… sheds light on a forgotten story of 19th century America, when Daphney returns as a ghost, striving to remember her living days.
