Sugar in Our Wounds is just in time for Pride, 2018

Sugar in Our Wounds written by Donja R. Love, and directed by Saheem Ali, 
  
Hello, Pride 2018.  Just in time to celebrate LGBTQ the previews for Sugar in Our Wounds written by Donja R. Love, and directed by Saheem Ali (Twelfth Night for the Public Theater’s Mobile Unit) begin Tuesday, June 5, 2018, ahead of a Tuesday, June 19, 2018 opening night at The Studio at Stage II – Harold and Mimi Steinberg New Play Series at New York City Center – Stage II (131 West 55th Street). 
Sugar in Our Wounds is set on a plantation during the Civil War where a mystical tree stretches toward heaven. It protects James, a young slave, while he reads newspapers about the imminent possibility of freedom, as the battle rages on. When a brooding stranger arrives, James and his makeshift family take the man in. Soon, an unexpected bond leads to a striking romance, and everyone is in uncharted territory. But is love powerful enough to set your true self-free? This lyrical and lushly realized play is part of poet, filmmaker, and playwright Donja R. Love's exploration of queer love at pivotal moments in Black history.
