It’s 1870, and ex-slave Mo Washington is determined to start a new life by journeying westward. Disguised as a man for her own protection, a deception that served the slight but wiry young woman well during her service as a Buffalo Solider, she boards a stagecoach with fellow passengers Wheeler , a lawman; Mr. Fields , a whiskey salesman; and Mrs. Borders , a very snooty matron who clearly doesn’t shine to the idea of having a Black man as a traveling companion.
Long stretches of “Surrounded” play suspensefully and satisfyingly as a two-hander, as Mo and Walsh warily eye each other, trade barbed insults, and only gradually let down their guard long enough to talk about their pasts. Walsh — who sees through Mo’s deception fairly on — presents himself as a charismatic outlaw in the Billy the Kid and Jesse James tradition, a bandit who turned to crime not for personal enrichment but rather to take revenge on a system that brutalized him.
