August 21 – September 22, 2019
Two-time Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur Genius Award recipient Lynn Nottage’s satirical tale that follows successful African-American publicist Undine, as she stumbles down the social ladder after her husband steals her hard-earned fortune. Broke and now pregnant, Undine is forced to return to her childhood home in the projects, where she must face the realities of the life she left behind. Penned with “the firecracker snap of unexpected humor” (New York Times), Fabulation reveals the folly of outrunning where we come from and the challenge of returning home. Nottage’s plays have been produced widely in the United States and throughout the world.
