a journey of self-discovery
This powerful story from a beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright is an American masterpiece. At a Pittsburgh boarding house in 1911, descendants of the formerly enslaved have come North seeking new jobs, new lives, and new beginnings. In this story of spiritual and emotional resurrection, Herald Loomis arrives in search of his lost wife. Haunted by the past, he must regain a sense of his own heritage and identity.
