Local playwrights have responded to the outrage felt by the Cleveland community with a play based on the death of Tamir Rice.
Playwrights Local鈥檚 production, 鈥淥bjectively/Reasonable鈥� takes its name from and examines the county prosecutor鈥檚 ruling in the 2014 shooting by Cleveland police.
says the play draws from community reaction to the 12-year-old鈥檚 death through dramatic interpretations of interviews with residents.
鈥淚n a lot of ways, the actors are a part of this world. If it is about a community, they鈥檙e kind of part of that community, I mean they鈥檙e Cleveland-based actors.聽 And so I think there is a unique connection for the actors in this case that鈥檚 definitely unlike any play I鈥檝e ever worked on. Because the actors I think have a pretty high sense of personal investment and a desire to participate in the show.鈥�
Todd says members of the Rice family attended last night鈥檚 opening.
It runs until Sept. 4th. Tickets are available online at .
