by Tanya Barfield
February 1 – March 4, 2007
Lewis is a sleepless mathematics professor, who inadvertently conjures his ancestors during a restless night of personal and professional crisis. As they prod him with their stories of slavery, Black Power, and academia, he begins to understand what it means to be black, both then and now. Tanya Barfield’s play is a poetic depiction of one man’s exploration of his history.
