The Most Spectacularly Lamentable Trial of Miz Martha Washington

March 8 – 31, 2024
Alan Page Auditorium | Mixed Blood Theatre

Written by James Ijames
Directed by Pirronne Yousefzadeh

Ravaged by illness and cared for by the very slaves that will be free the moment she dies, Martha Washington’s fever dreams are haunted by a range of characters, from Queen Charlotte and George Washington, to a present-day trial lawyer, building up to a reckoning with family, legacy, and broken promises. Written by Pulitzer winner James Ijames, this biting satire examines history’s impact on present-day systems.

The performance runs about 90 minutes, without an intermission. Content is for mature audiences. Join us for Learn + Do events featuring conversation with guests, activities, and food following the show on March 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st.
