Shaleeha G'ntamobi's stirring new play about an alcoholic black mother
and her card sharp son trying to get out of the projects has just been
accepted into the nation's preeminent theater festival. Trouble is,
Shaleeha G'ntamobi doesn't exist, except in the imagination of
wannabe-playwright Danny Larsen, who created her as a kind of
affirmative-action nom-de-plume. But a nom-de-guerre may prove more
useful as the lies pile up, shaky alliances are forged, and everyone
dear to Danny must decide whether or not to run for cover as the whole
thing threatens to blow up in his lily white face.
New York-based actor Jeff Talbott makes an auspicious play-writing debut with The Submission after taking home the first-ever Laurents/Hatcher Award for the play earlier this year. Walter Bobbie (School for Lies, Chicago) directs four of today's hottest young stars - Jonathan Groff (Spring Awakening, "Glee"), Will Rogers (When the Rain Stops Falling), Eddie Kaye Thomas (Bachelorette, American Pie), and Rutina Wesley (HBO's "True Blood") - in this funny and furiously intelligent new play.
