Poison Gun at Hudson Theater

Dee Freeman's Poison Gun explores her traumatic childhood in Louisiana during the Civil Rights movement, focusing on the brutal murder of her grandparents and the ensuing investigation. Directed by Juliette Jeffers, the play delves into themes of racism and corruption, as a young Freeman navigates a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with a corrupt police officer seeking her granddaddy's hidden money. Enhanced by film elements from videographer-editor Peter Hermes, this month-long run at the Hudson Theater promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats as Freeman recounts a mystery that altered her life forever.
