    Brilliant play, riveting performance, sensitive direction, powerful mise-en-scène. The Peculiar Patriot portrays enormous, deeply emotional, and layered content on mass incarceration in the most captivating way. 90 minutes of wow. If you’ve ever visited/experienced correctional facilities, you’ll be moved beyond measure. And everyone will be enthralled by the depth of the characters and relationships Liza Jessie Peterson creates alone on stage. Plus, the story behind this play, a work 20 years in the making, is just so inspiring to writers and artists. Thank you, ArtsEmerson, for bringing this singular one-woman show to Boston.

    Thank you for your enthusiasm and advocacy, Stacey! It means so much for the show and for the artists when the audience takes the time to share their experiences in this way. You’re probably a perfect audience member for WET: A DACAmented Journey as well, btw. Here’s a video link to the performer talking about the play if you want to check it out:

    A really powerful play really made you think about the criminal justice system in the United State while not just appealing to a person’s feelings about the subject it really made you think about how to really fix the US Criminal Justice system.
