In a moving solo performance, Mohegan theater-maker Madeline Sayet travels to England to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare, where she finds a country that refuses to acknowledge its ongoing role in colonialism. Her journey echoes the voyages taken by her Native ancestors following treaty betrayals 300 years ago, and as her story unfolds, we are invited to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world.
Following its world premiere in June 2021-presented by Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company and the Folger Shakespeare Library-“Where We Belong” has enjoyed a successful national tour, with performances at Philadelphia Theatre Company, the Goodman Theatre, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, Seattle Repertory Theatre, The Public Theater, Portland Center Stage, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
