Griffin Theatre Company will launch its 33rd season with the Midwest premiere drama Marys Seacole, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Jackie Sibblies Drury, and directed by Jerrell L. Henderson and Hannah Todd.
The production will run Oct. 1-Nov. 6 on Raven Theatre’s Schwartz Stage, 6157 N. Clark St.
Marys Seacole is described as “a dazzling tribute to the 19th-century British-Jamaican nurse who crossed battle and race lines to chart her own course in history. Moving from past to present, through space and time, Drury’s kaleidoscopic new play follows one woman’s extraordinary journey from the battlefields of the Crimean War to a modern-day nursing home.”
