creation stories and all the important importants

Mfoniso Udofia steps away from the Ufot Family Cycle, her nine-part survey of the Nigerian immigrant experience in America, to blend the mythic and the modern in this portrait of a successful woman whose difficulty conceiving a child is at odds with the plans she has made for herself. Abigail Onwunali, who made a stunning late entrance in last season's revival of Joe Turner's Come and Gone, plays the central figure, joined by Savannah Commodore as her younger self and Donnetta Lavinia Grays as a magic horsie. Tamilla Woodard directs the world poremiere for Lincoln Center Theater.
