About The Great Privation
Philadelphia’s African Baptist Church, 1832: a mother and daughter guard the grave of their husband and father to deter resurrectionists from pillaging it for science.
Today, on the same grounds: another mother and daughter work as counselors at what is now a summer camp. Timelines collide in this funny, joyful, and sharply inventive story that feels right at home for fans of modern Afro-surrealist films like Get Out, Sorry to Bother You, and Sinners. The play reminds us to find joy in our present even as we exhume our nation’s buried past.
