Leonora |
| Description | The reading is presented by New York Classical Theatre in association with Voza Rivers / New Heritage Theatre Group and David Heron’s Sure Thing Productions, as part of New York Classical’s ‘Diversifying the Classics’ series.
Leonora is inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” and is based on a concept by Antonio Miniño, who also directs the reading.
Four months after Hurricane Charlie destroys Jamaica in the grim summer of 1951, Leonora is heedlessly celebrating Christmas with her family. As a black Jamaican woman polished from a young age to marry into a white family, she's used to living a sheltered life. Over the course of three balmy winter days, the shingles of Leonora's life will be rattled one by one; starting with the arrival of her childhood friend Kalisa, and ending in a tempest of self discovery she cannot ignore. |
