  3. Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992


As necessary now as when Los Angeles was actively smoldering, (The New York Times), Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 is a stirring cry for reform.Thirty years ago, the news of the police officers acquittal in Rodney Kings police brutality case reverberated throughout the streets of Los Angeles. Called a riot, a revolution, and a social explosion, the events that followed drew worldwide attentionand inspired playwright, actor, and scholar Anna Deavere Smith (Notes from the Field: Doing Time in Education, Let Me Down Easy, Fires in the Mirror) to dissect the anatomy of the civil unrest. Her Tony Award-nominated, Obie Award-winning exploration derived from interviews with more than 350 Los Angelinos reveals the fault lines that set the city ablaze. Smith revised the play last year for a cast of five while in residence at Signature Theatre, where Taibi Magar (Macbeth In Stride, We Live in Cairo) directed this acclaimed production.
