Marcus Gradley's The House That Will Not Stand, blends poetic language with sharp, unexpected humour to tell the story of a Creole family facing a world in transition. This hauntingly beautiful play that captures the power, the magic, the tragedy of life in 1836 New Orleans. Here, Beatrice Albans, a widow navigating grief, memory, and the volatile terrain of change. Her three daughters live under her roof- but not always under her control. It is the story of resilient, resourceful, catty, joyful, spiritual women. Outside the house, the United States is tightening its grip on Louisiana, bringing new laws and new dangers for free Black families. Inside the house magic blends with harsh reality in this dynamic and relevant story.It's a story about legacy- how it's passed down, how it's resisted, and how is rewritten. About the ways women learn to hold power, to shape their own futures, and to speak aloud what was once only whispered.
