Two nights ago, I attended the world premiere of "In a Daughter's Eyes", a the riveting story of two women. One, a black woman, who's father is a former black panther and resides in prison to this day. He was accused of killing a cop back in the 1980's. The story takes place in Rahema Salaam's office. She's the daughter of the man in prison. The story's plot is basically Rahema trying to prove her father's innocence with the help of Kathryn Tinney, the daughter of the officer who was killed. The dynamic between these two women hooks you from beginning to end. There aren't many two women shows that can hold an audience for two hours just by themselves. During the course of the show, you experience their ups and downs, triumphs and tragedies and the idea that it's based on fact makes it that much more interesting to watch. I attended with my friend, Erica, who always takes me along when she gets press passes for these things. Her blurb about it is below this post. It's running until June 19th and if you're looking for a good night of really fascinating theatre and/or a good human story with a little dark comedy mixed in, I'd strongly recommend "In a Daughter's Eyes".
