ETSU Department of Theatre and Dance presents
Lay My Burden Down
ETSU Martin Center – Powell Recital Hall
Lay My Burden Down is a searing exploration of one of Shakespeare’s most devilish villains. Placed in 1947 Mississippi, it imagines Aaron the Moor, from Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, as a death row inmate awaiting execution. It’s the Bard meets the Blues as issues of faith, salvation, and the repercussions of a wicked life take center stage in this solo piece!
NOTE: This performance contains adult content and themes with strong, sometimes racially charged language. Viewer discretion is advised.
There will be no intermission.
The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
