New York City
First Seen presents the West Coast premiere of Toni Press-Coffman’s original
drama, Trucker Rhapsody. This is an original drama about
the 1992 Los Angeles riots and their lingering effect on the lives of
Reginald Denny, the trucker whose bloody assault at the corner of Florence
and Normandie became an iconic representation of the events, and Damian
Williams, one of the men imprisoned for attacking Denny. Press-Coffman’s
play draws in part on interviews she has conducted with Williams over the
past several years. First Seen artistic director Katherine Murphy directs.
