About the play: Children of the Black Water
Children of the Black Water chronicles four generations of a cursed family, from their oppression under South Africa’s Apartheid regime, to their escape to Canada, to their achievements in a near-future Singapore. Spanning decades and continents, this sprawling epic shows how our intimate decisions about survival, love, family, sex, and fame can have world-changing consequences.
