Lynn Nottage's satire reveals how difficult it is to outrun where we come from.
This satirical tale, set in present-day New York City, follows successful African-American publicist Undine, as she stumbles down the social ladder after her husband steals her hard-earned fortune. Broke and now pregnant, Undine is forced to return to her childhood home in the Brooklyn projects, where she must face the challenges of the life she left behind.
