WORLD PREMIERE
Mourning the loss of her elder son Myles (LeRoy McClain), Bethea (Myra
Lucretia Taylor) tries to help her younger son Gideon (Christopher Livingston)
through his grief. But as revelations surrounding Myles’ incarceration and
death emerge, both mother and son must decide whether to fight or let go.
With wit and empathy, this play reminds us of the courage and resilience it
takes to chart a better way forward for the ones we love. Saheem Ali directs
this world premiere play by 2016 WTF Playwright-in-Residence Harrison
David Rivers.
