The Danger of Hope presented by Shakespeare in Detroit

Written and performed by Morgan Breon, The Danger of Hope is a one-woman play that follows a behavioral specialist working inside a Detroit high school, where rumor, fear, and misunderstanding collide with care, discipline, and belief in young people’s futures. When the behavior specialist becomes the subject of a myth that she is a “witch,” her office transforms into a pressure point—holding both the weight of student trauma and the possibility of meaningful change. The play examines what it means to choose hope in systems that often feel stacked against it.

The performance runs one hour with no intermission.

Breon is the founder of heal.be.live. and has a long artistic history with Shakespeare in Detroit, including Romeo and Juliet (2014), The Merchant of Venice (2016), and Hamlet (2017).
