Synopsis: | Loosely inspired by the story of Gary Graham, a.k.a. Shaka Sankofa, Five 'Til takes place in the notorious Huntsville State Penitentiary, in Huntsville Texas, five minutes before the execution of Dante Wallace, a career criminal accused of the rape and murder of his 11-year-old goddaughter, Kenya. A lucid hallucination with music, the play is written as a blues fairytale that captures both the pain and joy in the stylistic traditions of negro spirituals, blues, and soul. Five 'Tilframes the complexity of a worst nightmare scenario into a karmic tale of how vengeance is far more powerful than the electric chair, and what happens when a capital punishment case becomes about convicting someone rather than someone who's guilty. | |||||
