Mother Of The Dark Water at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Picture This Post - Recommended

"...Mother of the Dark Water requires and commands your attention, sometimes there is a lot happening on stage. Though it has many light and humorous moments, this is a serious look at what it means to be a black woman, not only in white America, but in black America also."

"...What happens when these women join forces is nothing short of sheer regality. The most beautiful thing about this piece is that Wells does not allow her work to fall into the trap of respectability politics by hailing one specific type of black woman over the other. Through her characters and the imagery, she makes certain that no one is left behind, neither the Michelle Obamas of the world or the Lil Kims. She reinforces that although these women are different, they are all beautiful, valid and worthy of celebration. "Mother of the Dark Water" made me not only proud to be a black woman but grateful that my story was placed in such capable hands."
