Using music as an integral part of the storytelling, Blue spans
nearly twenty years in the life of the affluent African American
Clark family in rural South Carolina. Events are seen through the
eyes of the eldest son Reuben, who evolves from a preteen trumpet
player into an adult artist. His mother, a relentlessly chic
matriarch with dark secrets who is out of place in the her
provincial surroundings, holds court at family gatherings. She lays
out grandiose plans for her two sons while the mesmerizing music of
sexy jazz singer Blue Williams adds a unique dimension. Meanwhile,
her husband runs a profitable funeral home, grandmother offers
unsolicited advice and Ruben's brother runs with the girls. This
humorous family portrait abounds with tenderness, acceptance and
the search for unconditional love while introducing audiences to an
African American family the likes of which is seldom portrayed on
stage or screen.
