What is Nine Night about?
Critically acclaimed play Nine Night is directed by Roy Alexander Weise (The Mountaintop) and tells the moving yet occasionally hilarious tale of a family in mourning. Gloria is the root that holds the family tree together. But when she unexpectedly passes away, a family reunion is in order that unexpectedly pits them against each other as they discuss such heavy topics as selling Gloria's house to immigration. Of course, Nine Night is also a ritual of celebration that honours the life of the deceased. Join Lorraine and the family in this traditional Jamaican Nine Night Wake filled with plenty of rum, music, food, comedy and a surprise shock ending that will leave you begging for a sequel.
