By Nathan Louis Jackson
Featuring Johnny Lee Davenport

A stirring portrait of an inner-city African-American family's defining moments, Jackson's writing contains "so much verve and pathos that passages...practically sing" (Variety).As they long for simpler times, tension builds between two brothers as their conflicting interests churn into a surprising outcome. "Jackson's characters love, laugh, dance, and argue in a way that honors their bittersweet survival."(The New Yorker)

      I saw this play last Friday and it was incredible! Anyone who has moved away from their home town in search of greener pastures, those with aging parents, and especially anyone who has experienced parents in failing health will appreciate the sensitivity and poignant feelings this work evokes. Spoiler: bring tissues! Collapse

      A nice solid little play, no deeply original insights, but sensitive, fully human, good central tension, all the characters were real and empathetic, the father was an especially admirable figure, really good performances, good set, on the whole very touching. Cutting the last facile sentimental minute or so would have made it even better. Collapse
