AT THE BARRICADES – After the Curtain

About the Show

“At the Barricades” is a source-based history play about the international troops fighting in the Spanish Civil War, co-written by the What Will the Neighbors Say? Co-Artistic Directors James Clements and Sam Hood Adrain. The drama follows six different characters from the United States, Spain and Scotland, brought together, despite their varied backgrounds, by a shared desire to fight against Franco’s fascist coup. We join them on the outskirts of Madrid in January 1937 and witness, over the course of a year, how their political loyalties, personal relationships and understanding of themselves are strengthened, challenged and irrevocably changed by the tragedy and the carnage around them. Developed through a partnership with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA), this prescient new play asks the question: how far would you go to protect the freedoms of others?

The project was developed at the Brooklyn Art Haus with the support of the Brooklyn Arts Council, and through a year-long residency at NYU’s Espacio de Culturas at KJCC with Director Federica Borlenghi and Script Supervisor Skye Pallo Ross.
