TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992 is a piece of documentary theatre in which playwright Anna Deavere Smith uses the verbatim words of people who experienced the Los Angeles riots to expose and explore the devastating human impact of the event. From nine months of interviews with more than two hundred people, Smith has chosen the voices that best reflect the diversity and tension of a city in turmoil: a Korean store owner, a white male Hollywood talent agent, a Panamanian immigrant mother,beaten truck driver Reginald Denny, civil rights activist Dr.Cornel West and other witnesses, participants, and victims. A work that goes directly to the heart of the issues of race and class, TWILIGHT ruthlessly probes the language and lives of its subjects, offering stark insight into the complex and pressing social, economic, and political issues that fueled the flames in the wake of the Rodney King verdict.
