Publisher's Synopsis
In He Brought Her Heart Back in a Box, her first new work in over a decade, Adrienne Kennedy traces the story of an interracial love affair in the 1940s, doomed by the devastating effects of segregation.
The story unfolds through fragmented pieces - letters, recollections from family members, songs from the time - to present a multifaceted view of our cultural history that resists simple interpretation.
The play was premiered at Theatre for a New Audience in New York in the winter of 2018.
This volume also includes the plays Etta and Ella on the Upper West Side and Mom, How Did You Meet the Beatles? (co-written with Adam P. Kennedy).
