We are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884 - 1915 by Ms Jackie Sibblies Drury

Impressively navigates the tricky boundaries that separate art and life, the haunted present and the haunting historical past.. New York Times A group of actors gather to tell the little-known story of the first genocide of the twentieth century. As the full force of a horrific past crashes into the good intentions of the present, what seemed a far-away place and time is suddenly all too close to home. Just whose story are they telling? Pulitzer Prize award-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury collides the political with the personal in a play that is irreverently funny and seriously brave. We Are Proud To Present . . . premiered off-Broadway at Soho Rep in 2012. This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Leonor Faber-Jonker.

Impressively navigates the tricky boundaries that separate art and life, the haunted present and the haunting historical past. * New York Times *
In recalling a traumatic chapter of African history, it magnifies the biases and conflicts that are inextricably part of the act of remembrance itself. * LA Times *
A smart piece of self-reflexive theatre, constantly questioning the appropriation of characters, narratives and cultures that are commonplace elements of 'storytelling'. * Time Out London *
A genuine THUNDERBOLT ... devastatingly funny ... dangerous and primal and weird. * Washington Post *
