As sharply funny as it is poignant, BLKS introduces us to Octavia (Paige Gilbert / MCC’s School Girls), Imani (Alfie Fuller / Is God Is ), and June (Antoinette Crowe-Legacy / If Pretty Hurts, Ugly Must Ba A Mufhucka)—three twenty somethings in New York City hunting for intimacy and purpose in a city that doesn’t seem to care. They drink a lot. They smoke a lot. They try to have sex. A lot.
When they need each other the most, the women rally to “resurrect their fly” in a day full of humorous and painful attempts to be heard through the noise that surrounds them.
Poet Aziza Barnes makes their playwriting debut which signifies the arrival of a wholly original voice. Robert O’Hara (Booty Candy, Mankind) directs.
