Crumbs from the Table of Joy Zusammenfassung

Crumbs from the Table of Joy Lynn Nottage

The Crump family is adrift. Widowed Godfrey is under the spell of Sweet Father Divine, while his daughters, Ernestine and Ermina, immerse themselves in Hollywood illusions to escape racial prejudice. But things change when free-spirited Aunt Lily shows up.

Crumbs from the Table of Joy Bewertungen

Imagine a pairing ... between Tennessee Williams and Lorraine Hansberry, a memory play about a black family, a Glass Menagerie in the sun. New York Post; Lynn Nottage has packed so much life, love and history into her panoramic memory play that her use of the word crumbs almost seems misguided. No matter how pain-filled and obstacle-ridden this tale of the coming-of-age of an adolescent African-American girl in 1950s Brooklyn might be, what drives this play is the pervasive sense of life as a great and exhilarating feast - a cornucopia of passion, imagination, knowledge, experience and yes, confusion, too. Chicago Sun Times; Lynn Nottage may be one of the most humane playwrights in our contemporary canon. Her plays give breathing space for her characters to find their voices, no matter how constricted their own circumstances may be. Chicago Tribune
