BERNARDA\u2019S DAUGHTERS
6W: It\u2019s summer in Flatbush and the Abellard sisters are in the heat of mourning their father,
their neighborhood, their lives. Flames in the forms of desire, longing, and family secrets slowly
burn in their mother\u2019s house, where it seems there is no one to cool it in this play inspired by
Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba with poetic and literary cues from Kamau
Braithwaite, Louise Gl\u00fcck, Mary Ruefle, Toni Morrison, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOTFIREPOETICS
2W, 1M: A winter whiter than most forces a man to venture to the land of the dead to bring back
his wife, whose spirit has other plans all while the next-door neighbor watches in this ghost
story\/elegy\/spiral into the erotics of grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BIG HOUSE
6-10W: A woman finds herself on a deserted island and is tasked with building a home,
welcoming a few visitors to help her along the way. In a hybrid of poetry and drama, this woman
fractures and tries to make herself whole again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ANALOG PLAY
2W, 2M, 1P: In an exploration of intimacy during a sweltering digital age, a mother, daughter,
and their respective partners negotiate the time, spaces, and terms of what may or may not be
lasting connections in a brave-new-hot world that might just really be the same-old-lukewarm
thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOOD BLOOD
2W, 3M: The story of a Haitian family living in Brooklyn and their return to Haiti as they work
to cure their history in the hopes of securing a future. From the journey of immigrants to the
spread of a global epidemic, language, time, and an ocean are crossed in an investigation of the
contracts we make, the conditions we live under, and what it means to reach for a love that might
outlive you. Good Blood is the first of The Red and River Plays trilogy. 2017 Kilroys List
Honorable Mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
