THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND
by Marcus Gardley
Directed by Lucretia Marie Anderson
A gripping examination of the intersecting captivities of enslaved and free women of color in 1830’s New Orleans, The House that Will Not Stand is a haunting tale of family drama told with humor and love. With quick-witted dialogue, playwright Marcus Gardley delivers the story of a widowed mother determined to provide a future of independence for her daughters only to be ensnared by social customs and their own desires.
