Moving between Pennsylvania in the early 1800s and present day, Harlem playwright and actor Nia Akilah Robinson’s drama – a finalist for Theatre 503’s International Playwriting Award – takes a look at the history of grave robbing and medical science, with a particular emphasis on the Black dead taken by the white medical establishment. JMK Award-winner Kalungi Ssebandeke directs.
