Sovereignty
By Mary Kathryn Nagle
Directed by Molly Smith
Kreeger Theater
January 12 – February 18, 2018

Some wounds refuse to heal. Mary Kathryn Nagle’s daring new work, which debuts as the fourth production in Arena Stage’s Power Plays initiative, travels the intersections of personal and political truths, historic and present struggles. Sarah Ridge Polson, a young Cherokee lawyer fighting to restore her Nation’s jurisdiction, must confront the ever-present ghosts of her grandfathers. With shadows stretching from 1830s Cherokee Nation (now present-day Georgia) and Andrew Jackson’s White House to the Cherokee Nation in present-day Oklahoma, Sovereignty asks how high the flames of anger can rise before they ultimately consume the truth.

Sovereignty runs approximately two hours and 15 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission. This production contains mature content and special effects including the use of theatrical haze.
