Synopsis

At their 10-year college reunion, Aisha and Holly meet by chance. Aisha is a Black, successful playwright; Holly is a white, struggling stand-up comedian. Aisha’s most successful play bears a striking resemblance to a tragic event in Holly’s life. Is it a coincidence or is it theft? They both have a story that they’ve been telling themselves about what happened years ago and they’re both willing to fight for the truth in the present.

"Every once in a (great) while, a new work in Philadelphia premieres with such power and promise that it demands to be seen by a much wider audience. That play is Mrs. Harrison at Azuka Theatre. That playwright is R. Eric Thomas."

- Jim Rutter, Philadelphia Inquirer

"It feels essential right now in the American theatre to hold a tough mirror up to liberal audiences, and this play is doing that work. What a nuanced, challenging play. I really appreciated the slow burn. I loved that we got to spend 70 minutes with two complicated, flawed women."

- Bonaly Reviews
