description Dana H. Overview
Dana H. is a documentary-style play by American playwright Lucas Hnath, first produced in 2019. An actress performs by precisely lip-syncing edited recordings of Hnath's mother, Dana Higginbotham, as she recounts being abducted and held captive by a man connected to a white-supremacist prison gang. The unusual separation between recorded testimony and live performance makes the work a study of trauma, memory, mediation, and the ethics of representing another person's experience.
