Two fascinating lives are brought to life by a single actress in this powerful drama that explores the searing moment that connects Viola Liuzzo, a white civil rights activist who joins the 1965 march for voting rights at Selma, and Tommy Rowe, an FBI informant working undercover in the Ku Klux Klan.
Content Notes: adult language
Set: Minimal. Locales are fluid and suggested with lights and sound."...Filloux's latest activist-minded drama...[is] asking Americans to confront a problem that threatens to poison our democracy all over again. In the wake of the Supreme Court's 2013 invalidation of part of the Voting Rights Act, she's written Selma '65, which resurrects the legacy of Viola Liuzzo, a largely forgotten civil rights activist who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan shortly after the Selma voting march."
"With poetic dialogue and powerful imagery...showing us small ordinary details of these two people's lives, Ms. Filloux paints intimate portraits that reveal fragile psyches and a deep desire to be a part of something greater."
