Sunset Baby tells the story of  Black Liberation activist Kenyatta Shakur coming back to the world after prison, and finds himself widowed and alone. His fraught reunion with his daughter Nina only intensifies when she refuses to release to him letters from his late wife that are both personally and historically significant. In the familial tug-of-war that ensues, Kenyatta and Nina must find a way to confront their shared history. a crackling play from MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Dominique Morisseau, one of the most acclaimed playwrights in America today.
 
Sunset Baby is directed by Actor’s Express Associate Artistic Director Amanda Washington. The play explores themes of rebellion, survival, abandonment, passion and familial reconciliation. Sunset Baby examines when the personal and political collide.
