PORTSMOUTH – Spanning centuries and peeling back layers of denial, “Seeing Violet” is a gripping new drama about memory, reckoning, and the cost of looking away. Written by Peter Snoad and directed by Sandi Clark Kaddy, the play runs at the Players’ Ring Theatre from Jan. 9 through Jan. 25. When Betsy and John Marsh (played by Jordan Raymond and Allan Mayo) inherit an 18th-century New England home, they make a series of discoveries – including a freedom paper for an enslaved woman named Violet (played by Hampton Richards) – that shatter their understanding of the past. Betsy is drawn into a relentless quest to uncover Violet’s story and confront the painful legacy their family and community tried to forget. Post-show talkbacks for “Seeing Violet” All talkbacks are included with admission and open to all audience members attending the Sunday matinee performance. Visit www.playersring.org for each description.
