When an African American woman and a Nigerian man announce their engagement after a swift courtship, their families gather for a meal in Oakland -- and what begins as a celebration soon simmers with tension as cultural differences, familial expectations, and questions of identity bubble to the surface.
Directed by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe, this poignant exploration of love, class, culture, and the Black Diaspora marks the return of one of LHT's most acclaimed collaborators in Thompson, whose 2024 The Black Feminist Guide to the Human Body as well as 2019's Single Black Female were met with critical and popular acclaim.
Playwright: Lisa B. Thompson
Director: Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe
