Black Matters: Lewis Morrow Plays is a play anthology that maps the
impact of emotional, social, cultural, and economic forces that
shape the quality of African American life in the 21st century.
Focusing on the narratives of Black men and women carrying the
hopes and dreams of a generation, Morrow writes stories of dreams
deferred, lives incarcerated, and families broken by circumstance
who strive to beat the stereotypes of Blackness. Bending time to
create hyperreal poetic engagements with anti-Blackness and
systemic racism, Morrow questions who has the audacity of hope
while living within circumstances that anticipate premature death.
Morrow's poignant characters speak truth to power directly from
their hearts as they present as unapologetically Black in a world
that is indifferent to, and fatigued by, claims of racism and
inequality. Baybra's Tulips: Baybra, a recently rereleased convict,
returns home to live with sister Tallulah and her husband Charles
under the pretence of rehabilitation but with the objective to
avenge his sister's spousal abuse by his brother-in-law that
resulted in the loss of her child. Begetters: Explores generational
inheritance of trauma focusing on husband and wife, Spicer and
Norma, in the twilight years of their marriage, and their descent
into darkness and therapy after the loss of a family member
Mother/son: A dark dramedy about a white mother who is in denial
about her racist perspective and her cocaine addiction. Forced to
get clean, she comes to live with her Black son (mixed race) who is
reluctant to invest in her latest efforts to get clean in the
converging pandemics of BLM and Covid.
