One Nation Under God the play
Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Davian Peat’s explosive three-act play “One Nation Under God” showcases at The Players Theatre in New York City on April 6th & 7th. “One Nation Under God” is a visceral, politically-charged play that attempts to hold a mirror up to an America divided by party, class & race. The entire play takes place on the evening of Barack Obama’s Presidential victory on November 4, 2008. Obama's campaign & subsequent win provokes a discussion on the ever-widening economic, social, & political chasm. The setting for this discussion is a black-owned barbershop in Crown Heights, Brooklyn; and a white-owned barbershop in Griffith Stone Mountain, Virginia (a fictional coal-mining town). The play is highly politicized and perhaps controversial, but contains enough humor and likeable characters to make its hard to swallow truths, palatable. “One Nation Under God” was written in 2007 by Davian Peat, a Jamaican born writer raised in Brooklyn. Peat co-produced the play with Artistic Director Shantell Cargle, a Michigan born actress and Director. The production features outstanding acting talent such as Jeffrey Millstein (Old Man Rutherford), Storm Gunraj (Blaze), Jesse Gabriel (Dave), Lamar Cheston (Will), Michael Paul Carr (Marty), Aasim Rasheed (Sam) and John Felix as Barack Obama. “One Nation Under God” is an ensemble piece with over twenty-five dedicated, immensely gifted actors. Tickets available at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/912159 - $20 Showing at The Players Theatre – April 6 (2pm & 7pm) and April 7 (2pm & 7pm) For Release March 9, 2012
