By Edgar Nkosi White

Synopsis
The play explores the tribulations of black women in New York and the lonliness of the human condition. A presence in the play – almost a character in its own right -is the omnipresent TV screen, purveyor of cultural values and commodities, which both bekons and excludes those in its sway.
