Blue Stories, The : Black Erotica On Letting Go

Work

A series of personal recollections that examine sexual awakenings, rage, love, death and redemption. Inspired by events that included the death of her son-in-law in a bizarre accident, Rhodessa Jones set out to craft a "public communion in this season of dying." An earlier version of the play at the National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem, NC. Jones uses multiple characters to redefine erotica as the liberation that comes with life's hard lessons in a sweet, sad, scathing, funny and insightful way
