Fragmented memories and calloused dreams dance across the stage in this moving new play by Christina Anderson. Mae, a Black American woman lies dying in her hospital bed. As the hospital heart monitor beeps in a-rhythmic pulses, both she and her grandson struggle to accept their shared legacy bound by love and scars. 

"That dramatic sleight of hand and the exuberant music of Anderson's language proclaim a talent worth watching out for in the future."

Rob Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

"It's a dreamy, heartbreaking, deeply sensual and at times comical world that Anderson has crafted..."

Jean Schiffman, The Examiner
