fresh and innovative exploration of a Black Woman’s thoughts, fears, and feelings

They say there are always 3 sides to a story. Try 7.
A kaleidoscopic manifestation of the psyche. This darkly funny and masterfully crafted vignette play explores the whacky, obscene and unspoken thoughts of a complex mind. Interrogating race, religion, sex and cultural expectations, with witty word play steeped in shade and satire. Birthed in an anarchic blend of storytelling and razor sharp switches from direct address, to full on dance and poetry.
Trigger warnings: includes references to abortion and trauma. Explicit language.
