​A new all-female drama from southern playwright Audrey Cefaly.

TROUBLE, set in the (fictional) mill town of Litman, Alabama, centers on the fraught relationship between an ex-mill worker and her disillusioned mother. The play opens on the eve of Euba’s "unwanted" birthday party, which her mother Bernie (against Euba's express wishes) is intent on hosting, Also in the mix are mill workers Lila (8 months pregnant) and Fin (Euba's best friend), along with YoYo, a local security officer. As the birthday hour approaches, Euba is visited by a raven, sending her spiraling in search for answers to the untimely death of her father. The play attempts to explore, without condescension, the tattered daydreams of working-class women in the deep south, traversing the landscape of mental illness, addiction, and the trials and tribulations of motherhood.

TROUBLE is the 4th installment in regionalist Audrey Cefaly's Alabama Cycle (The Gulf, Alabaster, Maytag Virgin), an exploration of the unsung voices, stories, and topographies of working-class people in the Gulf Coast region.
