Purchase options and add-ons

In her first new work in a decade, Adrienne Kennedy journeys into Georgia and New York City in the 1940s to lay bare the devastating effects of segregation and its aftermath. The story of a doomed interracial love affair unfolds through fragmented pieces--letters, recollections from family members, songs from the time--to present a multifaceted view of our cultural history that resists simple interpretation. This volume also includes Etta and Ella on the Upper West Side and Mom, How Did You Meet The Beatles?

Review

"An elegiac wisp of a memory play by Adrienne Kennedy that reflects the all-too-frequent tragedy resulting from interracial love in the Jim Crow-era American South." -- Thom Geier ― The Wrap

"Ms. Kennedy remains one the harshest -- and most invaluable -- of the American theater’s conflicted sentimentalists." -- Ben Brantley ― New York Times

"The effect is unnerving and dizzying, guaranteed -- as Kennedy's plays are always guaranteed -- to trouble the mind for weeks on end." -- Michael Feingold ― Village Voice

"One of the American theater’s greatest and least compromising experimentalists... Her dramas are sites of living history, where personal stories of racism’s unhealed wounds mingle with dark tales thieved from the Brothers Grimm and 1940s Hollywood." ― New York Times

"People will be reading [her] work for centuries to come." ― Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Among Kennedy's many honors are the American Academy of Arts and Letters award and the Guggenheim fellowship. She has been commissioned to write works for the Public Theater, Jerome Robbins, the Royal Court Theatre, the Mark Taper Forum and Juilliard. In 1995-1996, Signature Theatre Company dedicated its entire season to presenting her works.
