Abasiama Ufot, still living in the house of her deceased husband, forms an unexpected spiritual bond with Azell Abernathy, a soft-spoken, church-going carpenter. As their connection deepens, and Abasiama’s house–and soul–become clearer, she comes to understand the true nature of love, sending her off on one last journey through life.
The penultimate piece of Mfoniso Udofia’s nine-part play Ufot Family Cycle, In Old Age comes to ArtsEmerson in partnership with Front Porch Arts Collective as part of a two-year, citywide production of Udofia’s epic in Boston.
“Mfoniso Udofia’s nine-play cycle about three generations of a Nigerian-American family has proven to be one of the most exciting things to happen in Boston theater in a long time.”
