A new drama from playwright Bonnie Greer, inspired by August Strindberg’s play The Father, but set in the United States of 2016, against the legacy of the unrest in Ferguson and Chicago following the fatal shootings of young black men at the hands of police officers.

Tavis Adolph is a jazz trumpeter of international standing, at war with his younger wife, Laura, over the future of their daughter, Sippi. Tavis wants Sippi to join the struggle in Ferguson; Laura wants her to go to Harvard Law School. Theirs is a battle of the sexes, but also a battle of the generations - the Civil Rights era vs the Obama generation.
