Last Night and the Night Before

World Premiere

When Monique and her 10-year-old daughter Samantha show up unexpectedly on her sister’s Brooklyn doorstep, it shakes up Rachel and her partner Nadima’s orderly New York lifestyle in this poetic, powerful and remarkably funny drama.

Monique is on the run from deep trouble and brings their family’s Southern roots with her, grabbing hold of Rachel’s life more ferociously than she could have ever imagined. This 2017 Colorado New Play Summit featured play explores the struggle between the responsibilities that are expected of us and the choices we actually end up making.

“A play about the tremendous, enduring component of love in our lives.” – Playwright Donnetta Lavinia Grays

By	Donnetta Lavinia Grays
Directed By	Valerie Curtis-Newton
