About this Event

Amanda + James presents Red Taxi, a new play by Banna Desta (The Abyssinians) directed by Jacole Kitchen (The Heart, Suburban Black Girl), as our eighth installment of our play reading series, PlayTime.

"Abraha is part of a close-knit group of Eritrean friends living in Washington, DC, driving cabs and dreaming of returning home when their country wins its independence. But as years stretch into decades, Abraha’s dreams of stability crash into political, technological and economic shifts that threaten to upend everything. Red Taxi is a sharp, comedic and moving new play that examines how one can succeed and preserve relationships when “home” is so fragile."
