Sowa's
Red Gravy
is play filled with humor and insight by a master storyteller of
Southern folklore.
The
six-character play with music captures the sound, heart, and fury
of African-American culture.The play is similar in style and
content to the works of the Harlem Renaissance writers Zora Neale
Hurston and Langston Hughes. Sowa's Red Gravy is a play of
southern mulebone folklore and unforgettable characters like Windy
Willow, Sapphire, and Luwanna. Narrated by Sowa, a 110-year old
wise woman who resides in Harlem in quantum time, recounts her
life before Emancipation and claims to have lived many lives as
varied as a white Hollywood film star, an African warrior, and a
Louisiana Voodoo Queen. Sowa's storytelling is so captivating that
you are sure to be convinced that she is telling the truth and you
will delight in the other characters as well.
