CURRENT SHOW​
ECLIPSED: The Sun, the Moon and Gladys Atkinson Sweet, by D.L. Patrick - World Premiere
Prayer, hope, and Clarence Darrow. Was it enough?
​On the night of September 9, 1925, Gladys Atkinson Sweet was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, along with her husband, Dr. Ossian Sweet, his two brothers, and seven other African Americans following the attack on her home. They were well-educated, well-respected, talented people who would have been assets to any community. Although much has been written about Dr. Sweet and the two Sweet trials, litigated by Clarence Darrow, this play imagines the perspective of Gladys Sweet and the women who populated her life. It is about what women do, and have always done, in the shadows.
