In Old AgePlay 8 of the Ufot Family Cycle

In a house filled with memory, an unexpected bond brings healing, hope, and the courage to move on.

Abasiama Ufot, still living in the house of her deceased husband, forms an unexpected spiritual bond with Azell Abernathy, a soft-spoken, church-going carpenter. As their connection deepens, and Abasiama’s house–and soul–become clearer, she comes to understand the true nature of love, sending her off on one last journey through life. 

The penultimate piece of Mfoniso Udofia’s nine-part play Ufot Family Cycle, In Old Age comes to ArtsEmerson in partnership with Front Porch Arts Collective as part of a two-year, citywide production of Udofia’s epic in Boston.
