The birth of a legacy
Playwright Christina Anderson and director Nataki Garrett—OSF’s incoming artistic director—explore life’s connections and reverberations, sometimes decades in the making, in this contemporary play about legacy, life and love.
Four artists in the Bay Area find their lives unexpectedly intertwined — with each other’s and with the life of a black queer feminist writer from the 1960s — in this story that challenges our definitions of love, family and what it means to create.
In a recent interview with Booklist, Anderson explains why she wrote this play: “I feel Black women, specifically, have a history of being erased in terms of their literary contributions in America’s literature. In a lot of ways that’s true for women of color in general, so I think the most important part is to keep these women’s voices alive and active and circulating.”
Length: Approximately 2 hours, 31 minutes, including one intermission
