Sunset Baby by Dominique Morisseau
5.0

I loved Sunset Baby by Dominique Morisseau. I wish I could see this play. The story of a Black revolutionary who tries to reconnect with his daughter, a drug dealer and thief, after she loses her mother, a Black revolutionary turned crack addict. An interesting story about the sacrifices many of our Black leaders made for the struggle and how those sacrifices impacted their families. It is so intriguing. Morisseau captures a lot of pain in the characters, Nina, Kenyatta, and Damon. Different types of pain, all equal nonetheless. I recommend this play - it is a short read, but its impact is long lasting. I'm still thinking about it.
