Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Purpose, Appropriate) has made a name for himself as one of the most insightful and original playwrights of the American stage today. The two-time Tony, Obie, and Pulitzer Prize winner and MacArthur Fellow skillfully blends drama and comedy to probe how different generations define heritage amongst the complex dynamics of the great American family. Commissioned by the Armory and NBT, Jacobs-Jenkins lends his signature style and unmistakable wit to the world premiere of his latest work, equal parts fantasia, memory play, and morality drama.

Following a mother and son on a fantastical, picaresque road trip through the American South, the new play allows audiences to bear witness to the pair’s surreal encounters with fellow countrymen and remnants of American history. This surreal meditation interrogates the limits of identity on a modern-day search for meaning and the overlap of personal, ancestral, and national identities as well as their ramifications in periods of social conflict and upheaval.
