Overview

“This belongs to me as much as it belongs to you.”

Bullock Creek, South Carolina, 1862. As war rages beyond the plantation, Ginnie Good raises her five children in a cabin that will outlast them all.

Today. At the same cabin, now a trendy Airbnb, a pregnant Black woman uses conjure to commune with her ancestors, seeking answers to the questions she’s afraid to ask anyone else.

Playwright Joy Nesbitt makes her Royal Court debut with a haunting new play about inheritance, belonging and what we hear when we listen to the voices of the past.

Please be aware that the play contains references to slavery and abortion, use of racist and discriminatory language, instances of violence, and scenes of a sexual nature.
