"Morisseau's characters are both overwhelmed and motivated by forces beyond their control, and are charged with rhythmic, intelligent language that they wield beautifully." - The New York Times
Brooklyn, New York City. Nina's estranged father, a former Black revolutionary and political prisoner, reappears to obtain a coveted piece of her late mother's legacy. While he dreamed of changing the world, she became everything he feared… but could she still hold the key to his redemption?
A moving story about love, political action, and one woman's journey from a brutal existence to her own liberation, Dominique Morisseau beautifully weaves together historical struggles with contemporary experiences.
Following an acclaimed off-Broadway run, Sunset Baby is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Steve H. Broadnax III.
