One Nation Under

God the play

Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Davian Peat’s explosive three-act play “One Nation

Under God” showcases at The Players Theatre in

New York City on April 6th

& 7th

.

“One Nation Under God” is a visceral, politically-charged play that attempts to hold a mirror up to

an America divided by party, class & race.

The entire play takes place on the evening of Barack Obama’s Presidential victory on November 4,

2008.

Obama's campaign & subsequent win provokes a discussion on the ever-widening economic,

social, & political chasm. The setting for this discussion is a black-owned barbershop in Crown Heights,

Brooklyn; and a white-owned barbershop in Griffith Stone Mountain, Virginia (a fictional coal-mining

town).

The play is highly politicized and perhaps controversial, but contains enough humor and likeable

characters to make its hard to swallow truths, palatable.

“One Nation Under God” was written in 2007 by Davian Peat, a Jamaican born writer raised in

Brooklyn. Peat co-produced the play with Artistic Director Shantell Cargle, a Michigan born actress and

Director.

The production features outstanding acting talent such as Jeffrey Millstein (Old Man Rutherford),

Storm Gunraj (Blaze), Jesse Gabriel (Dave), Lamar Cheston (Will), Michael Paul Carr (Marty), Aasim

Rasheed (Sam) and John Felix as Barack Obama. “One Nation Under God” is an ensemble piece with

over twenty-five dedicated, immensely gifted actors.
