[Home] Going: A Radio Play

Twelve-year-old Presence is on a quest to break a generational curse. For as long as she can remember, “the sadness” has plagued her family, culminating in her mother’s latest mental breakdown after the forced sale of their ancestral home on the Carolina Sea Islands. Believing the answers to “the sadness” lie in the past, Presence escapes into the dreamworld, a fluid realm where time and space dissolve. Through this dream-state, Presence journeys back to Reconstruction-era South Carolina to confront her forefather, Ernest, and untangle the history currently unraveling her mother.
