He Brought Her Heart Back in a Box and Other Plays

In her first new work in a decade, Adrienne Kennedy journeys into Georgia and New York City in the 1940s to lay bare the devastating effects of segregation and its aftermath. The story of a doomed interracial love affair unfolds through fragmented pieces—letters, recollections from family members, songs from the time—to present a multifaceted view of our cultural history that resists simple interpretation.

This volume also includes Etta and Ella on the Upper West Side and Mom, How Did You Meet The Beatles?
