Brutal Imagination: A Reading 5:00 pm Friday, February 23, 2024 Beinecke Mezzanine

Based on Cornelius Eady’s poem cycle, Brutal Imagination is a powerful examination of the notorious 1994 incident in which a white woman in South Carolina, Susan Smith, claimed that a Black man had kidnapped her children. The FBI searched for the man until Smith confessed that she had in‐ vented the Black man and had drowned her children. Brutal Imagination, two voices inside one consciousness, brings this invented man to life. Written by Oppenheimer Award‐winning playwright, musician, and poet Cornelius Eady, directed by and starring Emmy‐Award‐winner actor Joe Morton and starring Steppenwolf Theatre ensemble cast member Sally Murphy.
