RABBIT SUMMER
2023 Professional Premiere this Fall at Mile Square Theatre, Hoboken, NJ
2018 PRINCESS GRACE AWARD FINALIST
This quickfire two act tragicomedy navigates the fracture points of a marriage and a friendship. The Faisons are the epitome of Black Love. Wilson idealizes his marriage to Ruby and his job as a police officer in the shadow of the BlackLivesMatter movement. He smiles through pain Ruby wishes he would share. When family friend, Claire, loses her husband to the quick trigger of a white cop, the Faisons are forced to examine their ideas of fatherhood versus manhood, being Black versus being "blue", mass shootings versus police brutality and what it means to live your truth in an America built on lies.
