FULL LENGTH - In the middle of the Great Recession, Morris Golden fights to save his marriage and keep the bank from foreclosing on his house. He might be able to pull it off if he could just get this stubborn magical change machine to work. Golden (formerly titled "When We Rise") paints a vulnerable portrait of how we recover from devastating events, maintain hope during hopeless times, and fight to connect with one another in order to survive in a world in crisis.

This play is part of a planned nine-play, multi-century-spanning cycle exploring the lives of Black Americans in pivotal moments of American history.

    “ This play deserves to be in conversation with the great plays about the American Dream. Morris Golden is a modern-day Willy Loman. It's a play about finding our place in this world and fighting for that place. ”

The characters of Earl and Fortune should be played by the same actor.
