The Whipping Man

The Whipping Man is a powerful exploration of lives that come unraveled as the devastation of slavery is revealed in the wake of the Emancipation Proclamation. Described as “emotionally potent” by The New York Times, The Whipping Man is one of the most original and thrilling news plays about the history of race, religious identity and what it means to be free.

Appropriate for high school and up.
