This one woman show brings Harriet Jacobs’ 1861 autobiography to life, which includes the arduous 7 years she spent hiding out as a fugitive in her grandmother’s attic. Her narrative reveals in shocking fashion the traumas of slavery, particularly for women and children. The audience will be moved by Harriet’s Jacob’s powerful story of resistance, hope and freedom.
