Based on the eponymous book by Mark Godsey and casework by the Ohio Innocence Project, a 12-member cast brings us the exonerees’ stories in their own words, adapted by librettist David Cote to be both spoken and sung. Composer Scott Davenport Richards’ score calls on jazz, funk, and hip-hop to help convey the stories’ vastness and their particularity – the twisting of a child’s words, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, bearing a passing resemblance to someone else. Commissioned by Cincinnati Opera in 2019, it has only grown more relevant since its premiere. Learn more.
