Blood of My Blood

About the show

'This belongs to me as much as it belongs to you.'

Bullock Creek, South Carolina, 1862: Ginnie Good raises five children in a cabin as a war rages outside.

Today: A woman rents the cabin on AirBnB to conjure her ancestors.

Playwright Joy Nesbitt makes her Royal Court debut with this new play about complicated histories, belonging - and what we hear when we listen to the voices of the past, directed by Tatenda Shamiso (No I.D.).

Supported by the Concord Theatricals Unpublished Playwrights Award.

'I wrote this play to honor the story of my ancestors and the many Black women whose stories have yet to be written, so it is especially poignant to have their essences with me on this exciting journey!' Joy Nesbitt
