Play synopsis & history:  (Source: www.concordtheatricals.com) A striking new ensemble drama based on the Jena Six; six Black students who were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after being provoked with nooses hanging from a tree on campus. This bold new play by Dominique Morisseau (Sunset BabyDetroit '67Skeleton Crew) examines the miscarriage of justice, racial double standards, and the crises in relations between men and women of all classes and, as a result, the shattering state of Black family life. Blood at the Root premiered at the Penn State School of Theater in March 2014 under the direction of Steven Broadnax.
