The Collected Plays of Shay Youngblood includes Shakin' the Mess
Outta Misery, Flying Blind, Square Blues, Talking Bones and There
are Many Houses in my Tribe.
Big Mama Stories is set in the South in the 1960's. Daughter, whose
mother died when she was very young, is raised by the women in her
community, some blood related, some not. At the age of twelve, she
begins her journey to womanhood, guided by these diverse,
non-traditional, older Black women. Daughter reflects on her vivid
memories of growing up, recalling rituals, faith healings,
storytelling and lessons she learned about survival.
Black Girl in Paris wends its way around the mythology or Paris as
a city that has called out to African-American artists. Like James
Baldwin, Langston Hughes, and Josephine Baker before her,
Youngblood's heroine leaves her home, in the American South,
nurturing a dream of finding artistic emancipation in the City of
Light. She experiments freely, inhabiting different incarnations -
artist's model, poet's helper, au pair, teacher, thief, and lover -
to keep body and soul together, to stay afloat, heal the wounds of
her broken heart, discover her sexual self, and, finally, to
wrestle her dreams of becoming a writer into reality.
