We are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884 - 1915

An explosive, humorous and haunting play from 2019 Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Jackie Sibblies Drury that shows a group of actors telling the little-known story of the first genocide of the 20th century.

“Impressively navigates the tricky boundaries that separate art and life, the haunted present and the haunting historical past..” New York Times

A group of actors gather to tell the little-known story of the first genocide of the twentieth century. As the full force of a horrific past crashes into the good intentions of the present, what seemed a far-away place and time is suddenly all too close to home. Just whose story are they telling?

Pulitzer Prize award-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury collides the political with the personal in a play that is irreverently funny and seriously brave.
We Are Proud To Present . . . premiered off-Broadway at Soho Rep in 2012.

This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Leonor Faber-Jonker.
