Summary
When the public good is in danger, do we commit to our personal hopes and dreams or our obligation to work towards something greater? With his distinctive flair, Charles Smith explores this provocative question in his searing historical drama about freed slave Denmark Vessey, who in 1822, used his new earnings as a carpenter, not to free his wife and child, but to plan an extensive slave uprising in Charleston, South Carolina.
