About the Play
Set in 1853, Fancy Maids follows a group of women who have sacrificed everything to escape slavery in the antebellum South. When one of their pasts comes back to haunt them, they find themselves tempted by violence and forced to reconcile with their trauma.
Exploring themes of womanhood, survival, and sisterhood, the play turns the lens away from plantation narratives to reveal the untold stories of Black women navigating freedom, morality, and power in a world that still seeks to own them.
