Sally: A Solo Play
Written by Sandra Seaton (From The Diary of Sally Hemings)
Star: Sabrina Sloan (Hamilton National Tours)
Director: Hannah Ryan (Theatre Aspen’s Gypsy)
Mistress, Common-law wife, or First Lady? Sally Hemings, the sister of Jefferson’s deceased wife Martha, demands that Jefferson, whose days are numbered, must keep his promise to free their children. In the solo play SALLY the stakes are high. Does Jefferson’s will soothe the grief, the memories held by blood kin, or does it revive old wounds and become a battleground?
