By Me You’ll Never Know

This is a very personal work of memoir that speaks to aspects of ‘legacy', the complexities of entitlement, and color coding.

Real events line the journey, as my journals are the fodder through years of chronicle.. where experiences, knotted and random, led into questions of race and sexual identity, that now share a view of struggle at reaching the independence to make choices..

In Production – The play requires a versatile, strong, ensemble cast of artists. There is texture of music, and musicality in the spirit of the character SARA.

A production choice is that it can be facilitated by multimedia technology; the scene settings do not need to be actual, although select elements/props (small table; tea set; etc) can layer an audience’s grounding in this experience.

My hope is - although this work begins in a miasma of KEN’S ‘untethered’ state, it can evolve through many textures and character perspectives; as a descant descent into memory, by way of resonances.. lessons.. cadences.. music, and the tight knit of crisis moments of time..
