Late at night, a ghost tells Gail she will die within the next 24 hours. So begins The Refuge Plays, an epic tale in three plays that follows one Black family over 70 years. Written by Nathan Alan Davis, this bold reimagining of an American “family play” follows four generations in reverse chronology as they carve out an existence for themselves in a southern Illinois forest. Each of the three plays – Protect the Beautiful Place, Walking Man and Early's House – runs for 60 minutes. They can be presented together or individually.
