THE BLOODLESS JUNGLE
By Peter Lawson Jones
THE BLOODLESS JUNGLE
A REGIONAL PREMIERE OF AWARD-WINNING PLAY AT BERKELEY’S BLACK REPERTORY GROUPS
BIREL L. VAUGHN THEATER
Berkeley’s Black Repertory Group Theater, the oldest African-American theatre west of the Mississippi River, is proud to host the regional premiere of actor (A Man Called Otto, Chicago Fire, White Boy Rick) and playwright Peter Lawson Jones’s award-winning drama, The Bloodless Jungle (TBJ).
The play tells the story of State Senator Ethan St. John ( Gary Moore) happily married to his wife(Brittany Young). As a rising political star who is asked by the President to run for a critical seat in Congress Ethan is supported by his own winning leadership team and they are just coming off the win for a seat in the senate.
With a small team from the community (Gianmarco Mallque, and Yay Mitchell)along with fellow Atty. and High School buddy (Brian Brown) Ethan is on a political trajectory that appears to be poised to defeat the incumbent Congresswoman. Then from out of nowhere,amidst all the Ethan St. John accolades and successful achievements, J.J.(Chris Marsol), his absolute best friend from high school, is charged with having committed a serious sexual assault. Ethan, who believes J.J. to be innocent, soon finds himself battling with both the press (Veronica Valencia)as well as his “win-at-any-cost” campaign manager (Najee Joyner) who believes “an ugly win is still a win”!
Finding himself faced with a daunting choice: does Ethan abandon J.J. and focus on winning the election, or does he jeopardize the campaign by supporting his longtime friend? The drama ultimately turns on Ethan’s decision and its outcome.
TBJ has enjoyed two successful productions in Cleveland, Ohio, and has received six staged readings across the country, including at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Dallas Convention Center, Duquesne University and in Harlem. Land of Cleve, an arts and cultural blog in Northeast Ohio, rated the 2017 production one of the best in the region that year and honored it with an Achievement Award. In its review, Land of Cleve called TBJ a “Dynamic drama [and] a timely triumph of political proportions” and added, “Whether or not viewers care about politics, they can’t help but get caught up in both the heated exchanges and the humorous interactions between the characters.”
CoolCleveland.com offered that “The work is riveting. [Jones] doesn’t hit a false note with the dialogue at any point . . . throughout this work Jones demonstrates his master and maturity as a playwright by dealing with age-old issues such as integrity, loyalty and friendship with the same keen sense and import that he devotes to modern-day issues.”
