Where We Belong (Regional, Folger Shakespeare Library, 2024) | Playbill

Where We Belong

Regional
Solo


SYNOPSIS:

In 2015, Mohegan theater-maker Madeline Sayet travelled to England to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare, there she finds a country that refuses to acknowledge its ongoing role in colonialism, just as the Brexit vote threatens to further disengage the UK from the wider world. In this stirring solo piece, Madeline echoes a journey to England braved by her Native ancestors in the 1700s following treaty betrayals—and forces us to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world.

Following its world premiere in June 2021—presented by Woolly Mammoth Theater Company and the Folger Shakespeare Library— Where We Belong has enjoyed a successful national tour, with performances at Philadelphia Theatre Company, the Goodman Theatre, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, Seattle Repertory Theatre, The Public Theater, Portland Center Stage, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
