June 2006 Staged Reading at Bus Boys and Poets, Washington DC
America is on the precipice of racial chaos. In the shadow of the upcoming vote to re-ratify the Voting Rights Act, the President manipulates a crisis of policy, a General wages war through the streets of America, a Prophet subverts America's telecommunications, a minister stumbles out of his community and onto the world stage, and a son tramples the fine line between the just and the criminal.
"Breathing Ash" scrutinizes a series of coincidental events whose outcome could lead America to the brink of self-immolation.
