The Huntington continues the sweeping nine-play Ufot Family Cycle and announces runboyrun, the powerful drama written by Mfoniso Udofia and directed by Christopher V. Edwards.
The third play in Boston’s epic nine-play Ufot Family Cycle, runboyrun will be recorded and made nationally available as a podcast in partnership with the Boston Public Library, GBH, and Next Chapter Podcasts.
runboyrun will also be performed as a live reading at the Boston Public Library’s GBH Newsfeed Café (700 Boylston Street) on Thursday, March 13 at 3:30pm and again at the Huntington Theatre (264 Huntington Ave) on Friday, March 14 at 7:30pm. The audio play podcast will be made available at a later date to be announced.
ABOUT THE PLAY: Jumping between chilly 2012 Worcester, MA and hot 1968 Biafra, Mfoniso Udofia’s runboyrun asks what happens when a long-ago war continues inside the body of a survivor. Every day, Disciple lives in the echoes of the Biafran War, fracturing his connection to his wife Abasiama. The survival of their 30-year marriage depends on building new vocabularies, breaking traditions built on trauma -- and daring, once again, to live moment by moment.
