Visitor Information
Obie Award-winning writer and performer Anna Deavere Smith relives the summer of 1992 for verbatim theatre piece Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992. Staged at the Gate Theatre, the ground-breaking show will look back at the murder of Rodney King, who was beaten to death by Los Angeles police officers. The community was then left in further despair when these officers were acquitted, causing riots to break out across LA and thus shining a light on racial oppression and police brutality. This piece will use the interviews that Smith did with King's family, police commissioners and hundreds of other people.
