"Fires in the Mirror" is a play written by Anna Deavere Smith that explores the racial tensions and conflicts in Crown Heights, Brooklyn during the summer of 1991. The play is based on real interviews and presents the perspectives of various community members affected by the events surrounding the death of Yankel Rosenbaum and the subsequent riots. The work features a series of monologues that capture the voices of individuals from different backgrounds, including African American and Jewish communities. Through these narratives, Smith highlights the complexities of identity, race, and community, encouraging audiences to reflect on the impact of prejudice and misunderstanding.
