The story features a successful attorney whose perfect world is capsized when his cousin, a Hurricane Katrina survivor, seeks refuge at his East Hampton beach house; bringing with him nothing but the clothes on his back, and secrets from the past.
The Desire is premiering worldwide at the Billie Holiday Theatre, so you'll be the first to see the newest work of the acclaimed director. Jackie Alexander's previous works include many off-broadway productions, screenplays, recordings, novels, and films, all of which have won numerous awards and have received much critical and social acclaim.
This compelling drama will take place in the elegant 200-seat Billie Holiday Theatre, named after the legendary singer Billie Holiday, which has served as the training ground of notable, aspiring theater professionals.
Described as a theatre with a "soul and a mission," this intimate performance space has produced special programs that address social issues of concern and interest to the African-American and Caribbean-American communities.
