“Red Hills” at Quantum Theatre

The Pittsburgh Tatler: The Quantum production of Red Hills is a skillfully realized production of a problematic play about a very compelling and timely subject.

Let’s go backwards through that thought, and start with the compellingness and timeliness of its subject. Red Hills takes its two main characters and its audience to present-day Rwanda, to a remote area on the border with Uganda where, in 1994, the teenaged American David (Scott Parkinson) and Rwandan God’s Blessing (Patrick J. Ssenjovu) were traumatized by the violence of the early days of the Hutu genocide against the Tutsi.
