running time 60 minutes
Nine Nights is a development play reading that centers on a family, a house, and a river, woven into the Jamaican ritual of Nine Nights, a nine-day celebration held after someone’s death to help their spirit move, and River Mumma, a Jamaican mermaid folklore. We journey through this family’s secret with sisters Mary and Rose and the magical elements of the house and the river. Mary gets pulled into the secrets and whispers of the house, and Rose falls deeper into the river.
