Gidion's Knot
Carol Piersol presents

Gidion's Knot
by Johnna Adams
Directed by Keri Wormald
Starring Katrinah Carol Lewis and Laine Satterfield

"a perfect piece of theatre that is both exhilarating and devastating" - American Theatre Critics Association

"Johnna Adams' stunning new play is as sad as life itself, and as funny and startling as well." - DCTheatreScene.com

Over the course of an unexpected parent/teacher conference in a 5th grade classroom, a mother and her son's teacher have a volatile conversation about Gidion. Was he a bully?  A victim?  A protector? Or, was his imagination too powerful a tool for the adults around him? As his story is uncovered, the women try to construct an explanation for his behavior and come to terms with who, or what, is at fault. Gidion's Knot is a heart-wrenching, devastatingly beautiful work about the power of words and freedom of expression. It explores the dangerous, emotional, and often painful world of elementary school.
