N*gga B*tch
Written by June Carryl, Directed by Taylor Reynolds
In association with Nancy Manocherian's the Cell Theatre
World Premiere, March 4-28
N*GGA B*TCH is about being on repeat and the insanity that is black womanhood: being and yet being invisible, the alternating accommodation and outrage, and downright “What the fuckery???”
In a commencement speech at Barnard, Viola Davis said, “The world is a wounded place because we are wounded.” And whether we think it’s cheesy or not, the only escape is love—of self and of others. N**GGA B*TCH is a story of grief, healing, and reinvention.
