CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Achokayis (F, Indigenous) Travels to England to pursue a degree in Shakespeare, grappling with the question of what it means to remain or leave her own home at Mohegan, as the Brexit vote threatens to disengage the United Kingdom from the wider world. Moving between nations that have failed to reckon with their ongoing roles in colonialism, she finds comfort in the journeys of her Mohegan ancestors who traveled to England in the 1700s to help her people. Achokayis is both funny and poignant, bold and shy, and serious and silly. This role calls for an actor who can both fill a space and invite the audience in to share it.
