The play unfolds as the nation reels from a mysterious disease that disproportionally impacts black women, and follows one scientist’s obsession with an unconventional treatment, consequences be damned. I like the questions it asks about science, reconciliation and forgiveness. The play was born at the National Black Theatre.
