Billy Porter, known for his performance in 'Pose,', will make his directorial debut this summer at Soho Theatre with 'This Bitter Earth,' a play by Harrison David Rivers. The production stars Omari Douglas and Alexander Lincoln as a couple grappling with their contrasting views on activism, particularly in relation to race and political engagement. The narrative dives into the complexities of their relationship as they confront personal and societal issues, encapsulating the emotional and cultural stakes involved in modern activism. The play will run from 18 June to 26 July 2025.
"Harrison David Rivers has written a searingly poignant and necessary play about love and loss through the lens of the fraying American Democratic experiment."
"As passions and priorities collide, this couple is forced to reckon with issues of race, class and the bravery it takes to love out loud."
