Opera in two acts
Words and story by Tracy K. Smith
Product Details
Description
Set during the mortgage crisis of 2008, Castor and Patience tells the story of African American cousins who find themselves at odds over the fate of land their ancestors have owned since Reconstruction. If they are going to get anywhere as a family, these characters must first learn to see past their differing allegiances and trust one another. Castor and Patience is the story not just of a single family or even a particular geography, but of America’s warring tensions between reckoning with the hard facts of history and racing blindly forward toward the dream of progress.
