Paul McEwan America. 1970. Black Vietnam veteran Beau Willie Brown is held incustody, accused of a heinous crime. A story comes to light thatsticks in the throat, a story murmured between dark dreams.

but i cd only whisper wrestles with being vulnerable and black inwhite America. Fusing the physical and the poetic, a strange songemerges from the warble of police sirens, the percussion ofmachine guns, and the chants of voices only you can hear.

Sophie Watson for Tabula Rasa Theatre brings you the worldpremiere of this fierce and lyrical new play.
