By the River Rivanna

A new play by G. Bruce Smith

A young Black man embarks on an emotional journey to understand his heritage that takes him back to the Virginia plantation where his ancestor lived as a slave. As the story of his great-great-great-great grandmother unfolds, as told through her journal, the revelation of secrets forces him to confront his own identity.
